Abstract
The transport of polarized synchrotron radiation in a source possessing a highly irregular magnetic field, as proposed by Laing has been considered. The transport equation has been solved in a special case, relating the observable correlation functions in the Stokes parameters Q and U to the correlation functions of magnetic field and plasma density in the source. A rough application of the results to observations of the radio galaxy 3C 166 indicates that the turbulent scale length may be a few percent of the lobe size.
