Abstract

We have measured radio polarization of about 90 blazars at 3cm with the 45-m radio telescope of Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Polarization degree and angle of the blazars exhibit significant correlations with their VLBI structure, and core dominance.The correlations are explained by mixture with the extended polarized flux or aberration effect.
