Scientific paper

The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope has been used at about 325 MHz to map several regions of the galactic plane with unequalled sensitivity in both total and polarized intensity. Very complicated patterns are observed in the polarized intensity and polarization angles on scales down to a a few arcmin. The implications of these findings for the study of the magnetoionic properties of the ISM in the solar neighborhood are discussed. The observed polarized emission is interpreted as a modulation of an intrinsically highly polarized synchrotron background by Faraday rotation in the diffuse ionized gas in a fairly thin galactic disk.
