The presence of a longitudinal magnetic field is shown to lead to the appearance of an additional component of the frequency spectrum of the linearly polarized emission. This component is proportional to the spectrum of normal waves phase difference fluctuations. The fluctuations spectra baseline dependence of a linear polarized radiation is periodical near zero frequency, one is absent in the high frequency ranges and such dependence has different character in magnetoactive plasma with electron density irregularities and in plasma with a random magnetic field.
