Analysis and Experimental Study of Optimal Soil Moisture Sensor Probe Length
نویسنده
چکیده
two parallel needle moisture sensors has been widely used in Soil moisture detection equipment, for example, frequency domain (FD), time domain reflectometry (TDR) and standing wave ratio (SWR) measurement. The design of probe‘s port impedance is key technology parameters to soil moisture sensor. In this study, according to the relationships between the length and impedance characteristics of terminal open and closed state probe were presented based on two-pin probe structure of parallel resistance model. The best probe structure was simulated by high frequency structure simulator software HFSS, which based on Maxwell’s equations and finite element method. According to experiment of soil water content by organic solution, the theoretical analysis of the best structure of probe was further validated.

متن کاملA In-Situ Soil Moisture Sensing: Optimal Sensor Placement and Field Estimation
We study the problem of optimal sensor placement in the context of soil moisture sensing. We show that the soil moisture data possesses some unique features that can be used together with the commonly used Gaussian assumption to construct more scalable, robust and better performing placement algorithms. Specifically, there exists a coarse-grained monotonic ordering of locations in their soil mo...

The purpose of this study is to determine the temperature influence on the soil bulk dielectric permittivity, ε b, calculated from the measurement of the electromagnetic wave velocity of propagation along the parallel waveguide in a TDR probe, i.e. a probe working in Time Domain Reflectometry technique. The experimental evidence shows that the existing models do not completely describe the temp...

Soil moisture is an important property for agriculture, but currently commercialized soil moisture sensors are too expensive for many farmers. The objective of this study is to develop a low-cost soil moisture sensor using capacitors on a film substrate and a capacitive touch integrated circuit. The performance of the sensor was evaluated in two field experiments: a grape field and a mizuna gre...
متن کاملMeasurement depth of the cosmic ray soil moisture probe affected by hydrogen from various sources
[1] We present here a simple and robust framework for quantifying the effective sensor depth of cosmic ray soil moisture neutron probes such that reliable water fluxes may be computed from a time series of cosmic ray soil moisture. In particular, we describe how the neutron signal depends on three near-surface hydrogen sources: surface water, soil moisture, and lattice water (water in minerals ...
