Abstract | Investigating soil moisture in spatial and temporal scales is interesting in ecological, agricultural and industrial contexts. An improvement of the determination of spatial distributed water content is in the focus of this work. By measuring the propagation properties of electromagnetic waves along waveguides the spatial distribution of the permittivity can be obtained. Due to some advantages, like increased amount of data and better calibration a frequency domain approach is chosen here. In order to investigate these advantages a proper waveguide is fabricated and tested. The complex s-parameters of layered media are measured and compared with simple models. |
