Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Technique for the Estimation of Soil Permittivity

Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) has been initially developed as a remote sensing electrical measurement tool and it has been widely used to detect cable faults and discontinuities of signal lines (Somlo & Hollway, 1969). Recently, TDR has been widely applied to soil science, hydrology and agronomy to estimate the electrical properties of soils (Courtney, 1998; Evett & Parkin, 2005; Nozaki & Bos...

Use Of Time Domain Reflectometry For Continuous Monitoring Of Nitrate-Nitrogen In Soil And Water

Investigation of the Effect Soil particles size on the Currency Time Domain Reflectometry for water content measurement

This study carried out on the provided textures at laboratory. The provided textures were infusedinside the PVC cylinder with 30cm height and 25cm diameter. The studied textures were loamysand, sandy loam, sandy clay-loam, clay loam and clay. After 24 hours of saturation, the soil watercontent of the samples was measured by oven-dry gravimetric and TDR methods. For each texturesat any stage of ...
