Parkes, Owens Valley and Goldstone measurements are presented, showing the variation with central meridian longitude of the position angle of Jupiter's linearly polarized synchrotron emission at wavelengths of 21, 13, 11 and 6 cm; the observations span a total time interval greater than one Jovian orbital period. The form of the position angle versus longitude curve shows a slight dependence on wavelength and epoch. The epoch dependence appears to reflect Jupiter's changing aspect with respect to the earth. The observations yield a Jovian rotation period agreeing to within about 0.02 s with that derived from the decametric burst measurements, implying a highly stable inner magnetic field configuration.
