We study the properties of radio waves with equidistant polarization states. The characteristics of radio wave sequences with the same polarization proximity are given. The application of partially polarized radio wave sequences with a chosen value of the polarization proximity for measuring the differential reflectivity of precipitation is considered. Algorithms for measuring the polarization characteristics of radar targets using probing radio waves with equidistant polarization states are described.
