The time-latitude diagram of the photospheric magnetic field of the Sun during 1975-2011 (Kitt Peak NSO, SOLIS NSO, SOHO MDI data) is analyzed using Gnevysvev's idea of impulsed structure of sunspot cycle and a flux transport concept. It is demonstrated that poleward migrations of magnetic trailing polarities are closely associated with the impulses of sunspot activity. We use a fitting procedure to reconstruct the sunspot impulses and poleward magnetic field surges. We compare our results for Cycle 22 model with the time-latitude diagram of the photospheric magnetic field of the Sun.
