Moisture Content Determination Using Microstrip Fractal Resonator Sensor

Microstrip ring resonator for soil moisture measurements

Accurate determination of spatial soil moisture distribution and monitoring its temporal variation have a significant impact on the outcomes of hydrologic, ecologic, and climatic models. Development of a successful remote sensing instrument for soil moisture relies on the accurate knowledge of the soil dielectric constant ( soil) to its moisture content. Two existing methods for measurement of ...

Moisture Content Detection Based on Transmission Power Measurement Using a Microstrip Wide-Ring Sensor

Determination of Moisture Content

Drying: moisture measurement at the end of drying is essential to follow up drying course and to decide whether it is achieved or not. On one hand, too long a drying course may have bad consequences for quality and food safety because of unexpected fermentations and mould growth. On the other hand, the next step in the process is storage. Also, drying to a too low moisture content can result in...

Pedotransfer functions for estimating soil moisture content using fractal parameters in Ardabil province

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Soil moisture curve is an important characteristic of soil and its measurement is necessary for determining soil available water content for plant, evapotranspiration and irrigation planning. Direct measurements of soil moisture coefficients are time-consuming and costly. But it is possible to estimate these characteristics from readily available soil propert...
