Abstract
We examine the power spectra of IDV and show the information, which is to be gained by wavelet analysis of light curves of the quasar 0917+624. Results for total and polarized flux at 11cm are shown. Both interstellar scattering and intrinsic models have difficulties in explaining the 1 day period variations. A theoretical model for the time averaged emission is presented, which provides the basis for the analysis of possible variations.
