The new broad-band capabilities of large radio interferometers such as the GMRT and JVLA allow for long-integration mosaic imaging observations to create ultra-deep full-polarization images of the sky over wide frequency ranges. Achieving rms sensitivities of order 1 μJy, these observations explore the radio source population at flux densities well below the regime dominated by classical radio galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei. We present initial results from radio sources revealed with deep mosaicking observations with the GMRT and JVLA at respectively 0.6 and 5 GHz, and evidence that the μJy sensitivity level marks the transition to detection of polarized emission from a population of sources dominated by emission from magnetic fields in the disks of starburst and normal galaxies.
