Annotation

The formation of the cosmic microwave background radiation polarization in observations of standard recombination is discussed. The polarization level in observations using antennas with different sizes of directivity patterns over the angle range varying from 3 to 15°С has Ъееn calculated. The formation ofpolarization was calculated in models with different kinds of spectra (for the spectrum index n = 1 and 1.5) and with different kinds of disturbances. Scalar disturbances and gravitational waves have Ъееn considered separately. The degree of the cosmic microwave background radiation polarization has bееn calculated.
