Description

Our knowledge of radio pulsars is reviewed with particular emphasis on properties of radio emission that are relevant to an understanding of the emission mechanism. We discuss the tendency for emission to occur in two orthogonal modes of polarization, observational limits on the location of the emission region, and the issue of whether coherence is established by a broadband or a narrowband mechanism.
