We report flux density measurements, polarimetric and timing observations of pulsars made at the highest radio frequencies to date, covering the widest frequency range from 1.4 GHz to 86 GHz. We find that the magnetic field maintains its dipolar structure throughout the active part of the magnetosphere, a region located close to the stellar surface and confined to a small slab of a few stellar radii. The change in width and shape of pulse profiles saturates at mm-wavelengths while the depolarization accelerates, leading to almost completely depolarized emission. Two pulsars seem to exhibit a turn-up in their flux density spectrum at mm-wavelengths.
