Scientific paper

Accurate measurements are presented of the integrated linear polarization of 61 extragalactic radio sources, including 42 quasars, at wavelengths of 11.1 and 3.7 cm (2695 and 8085 MHz). The measurements were made with the NRAO three-element interferometer in order to reduce the effects of confusion and ground radiation. The data include polarization measurements at the weakest flux levels yet achieved for extragalactic sources, and make it possible to extend the investigation of polarization properties over a much greater range of source luminosity and distance.
