A general feature of many models of the pulsar emission mechanism is that radiation of different frequencies is produced at different altitudes above the polar cap. The broadening of pulse components and increasing separation between components at low frequency is in general agreement with these theories. We review the available average profile and pulsar timing observations and discuss the implications for theories of radius-to-frequency mapping.
