Abstract
A joint action of depth and bandwidth depolarization in the interstellar medium is considered using a model of N homogeneous synchrotron layers with Faraday rotation. The bandwidth depolarization can be used in multifrequency polarimetric observations of Galactic diffuse synchrotron radio emission to investigate the interstellar ionized medium and magnetic field in the direction to the Faraday-thick objects of known distances.
