It is suggested that synchrotron self-absorption may be responsible for the low frequency cut-off in the spectrum of radio emission from supernovae. It is reported that the angular size estimated according to synchrotron self-absorption coincides within the error limits with the angular size in four out of six supernovae studied. The angular size determined through self-absorption for two cases of type Ib supernovae is reported to be 5-7 times lower than the angular size corresponding to the envelope expansion velocity. It is suggested that the discrepancy can be removed by an assumption that the radio-envelope expansion velocity significantly exceeds the optical-envelope expansion velocity. A prediction is made concerning the specific behavior of the degree and position angle of the linear polarization of supernovae radio emission.
