Abstract

Using the gaseous disk model and the condition for emission based on a stimulated origin of thermal radio emission (Prigara 2003), we received the wavelength dependence of polarization for radio emission from active galactic nuclei consistent with available observational data. The strength of magnetic field required to produce an observable degree of polarization in active galactic nuclei is discussed.
