Electrical and Physical Properties of Coimbatore Soils at Microwave Frequency

چکیده
The aim of this paper was to study the variations of the electrical properties like electrical conductivity and dielectric constant of soils with their physical properties. Eight soil samples were collected from different locations of Coimbatore (Tamilnadu) at the depth of 0 – 15 cm. Soil samples were analysed for physical properties like texture, bulk density and porosity. The electrical conductivity is measured by soil testing kit Model 161E in the laboratory and dielectric constant of dry soil samples was measured at Cband microwave frequency. Correlations between electrical and physical properties of soil samples were studied. The results were analysed statistically to obtain correlation coefficients. Which showed that the electrical conductivity and dielectric constant both dependent on physical properties of soil and have significant correlations with them. Results obtained are useful in the field of remote sensing and agriculture.

Dielectric properties of soils at X-band microwave frequency
Measurements of real (ε′) and imaginary (ε’’) parts of the complex dielectric constant (ε*) of soil with varied moisture content have been made at 9.44 GHz using infinite sample method. The electrical properties of dry soil samples are found to be in good agreement with the earlier work. The values of ε′ and ε′′ first increase slowly and then increase rapidly with moisture content. From this da...
