Polarisation ratio (Lobs/Lint) of the linear polarisation as a function of RM for a frequency channel of width ∼0.976 MHz at three reference frequencies ν of 4, 5 and 6 GHz shown in blue, orange and green, respectively. Lobs is the observed linear polarisation and Lint is the intrinsic linear polarisation of the signal. The polarisation ratio is computed following Schnitzeler & Lee (2015) and starts to show significant depolarisation across our channel bandwidth at 4 GHz with RM ≳500 000 rad m−2. The RM polarisation ratio curve is symmetric around RM zero.
