We present high signal-to-noise ratio, multi-frequency polarization pulse profiles for 24 millisecond pulsars that are being observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project. The pulsars are observed in three bands, centred…

A random surface scattering in a one-mode waveguide is studied in the case when the surface profile has long-range correlations along the waveguide. Analytical treatment of this problem shows that with a proper choice of the surface, one…
