As an optional manner of this embodiment, after the step S130, the method includes:
first, a polarized signal is received.
For example, the polarization signal may be an echo polarization signal received by the phased array weather radar and scattered back by the target detection object, and the phased array weather radar is used for measuring precipitation, and the received polarization signal is an echo polarization signal scattered back by precipitation particles. The embodiment does not limit the type of the polarized signal received by the phased array weather radar and the target detection object, and a person skilled in the art can determine the type and the target detection object according to needs.
Secondly, the polarization signal is preprocessed.
The preprocessing is to analyze the received polarized signals, and analyze the information of the characteristics, distribution, intensity, etc. of the target detection object. The preprocessing method may be to analyze and determine according to amplitude information of the received polarization signal, or may be to analyze and determine by using information of a change between an echo frequency of the polarization signal and a frequency of the transmitted polarization signal. Still taking the measurement of precipitation as an example, the characteristics of precipitation, such as raindrop spectrum, rain intensity, phase state of precipitation particles, and shape of ice crystal particles, all have different influences on the scattering and absorption of beams emitted by the phased array weather radar.

Taking the intensity of the polarization signal obtained by preprocessing as an example, acquiring a pre-established corresponding relation table of the intensities of different polarization signals and the meteorological information, and comparing the intensity of the polarization signal obtained by preprocessing with the relation table to obtain corresponding meteorological information.
The phased array weather radar polarization control method provided by the embodiment preprocesses the received polarization signal, can judge the current weather through a preprocessing result, and improves the accuracy of a weather information prediction result.
As an optional manner of this embodiment, the phased array weather radar polarization control method further includes:
firstly, acquiring different polarization signals transmitted/received by a waveguide;
for example, when acquiring the transmitted/received polarization signal, the acquiring may be that when transmitting/receiving the polarization signal, the polarization signal is coupled through a coupling waveguide connected to the waveguide to acquire the polarization signal transmitted/received by multiple waveguides. The present embodiment does not limit the manner of acquiring the different polarization signals transmitted/received by the waveguide, and those skilled in the art can determine the manner as needed.

Illustratively, the processing mode of the polarization signal is to calculate amplitude and phase information of all the transmitting/receiving signals through amplitude and phase analysis, and use the obtained amplitude and phase information as the second polarization parameter.
And thirdly, calibrating the second polarization parameter.
For example, in this embodiment, taking 120 transmit/receive channels as an example, the calibration of the second polarization parameter may be performed by using the amplitude and phase of the transmit/receive of the 1 st transmit/receive channel as a standard, calculating and storing the amplitude difference and phase difference between the other channels and the 1 st channel by the terminal, and storing the calibration result; when in normal transmitting/receiving work, the calibration result is added to the amplitude phase control, and then the amplitude phase information required by polarization and beam control is calculated. The calibration method is not limited in this embodiment, and can be determined by those skilled in the art as needed.
According to the polarization control method for the phased array weather radar, amplitude and phase calibration is carried out on the transmitted/received polarization signals, and when the preset amplitude phase is not met, the amplitude phase is adjusted until the preset amplitude and phase are met, so that the control precision of the subsequent amplitude and phase is ensured.
