Description

The wave propagation [1] theory based on Kravtsov & Orlov approach outlined the general aspects of the theory of radio light curve and polarization formation for radio pulsars. It allowed us to describe general properties of mean profiles such as the position angle of the linear polarization *p.a.* and the circular polarization for the realistic structure of the magnetic field in the pulsar magnetosphere. However, some radio pulsars indicate clear deviation from that correlation. In this work we apply the theory of the radio wave propagation in the pulsar magnetosphere for the analysis of anomalous light curves and polarization profiles. We show that within our theory the circular polarization of a given mode can switch its sign, without the need to introduce a new radiation mode or other effects.
