Abstract
A theoretical relation between the rates of the "Microscopic" and "Macroscopic" Chandlerian Periods is obtained basing on the assumption that the polar wobble is excited by a stationary random motion of the excitation pole. It is found that these two periods do not necessarily coincide with each other, and their difference is dependent on the autocovariance function of the motion of the excitation pole of the polar wobble. An example of the excitation model, which conforms itself to the existing values of the "Microscopic" and the "Macroscopic" Chandlerian Periods and the radius of the polar wobble, is presented.
