The Impact of Polarized Extragalactic Radio Sources on the Detection of CMB Anisotropies in Polarization

Recent polarimetric surveys of extragalactic radio sources (ERS) at frequencies  ν≳1 GHz are reviewed. By exploiting all the most relevant data we study the frequency dependence of polarization properties of ERS between 1.4 and 86 GHz. For flat-spectrum sources the median (mean) fractional polarizat...
