| Summary: | The study of soil for agriculture purposes has
remained the main focus of research since the beginning of
civilization as humans’ food related requirements remained closely
linked with the soil. The study of soil has generated an interest
among the researchers for very similar other reasons including
transmission, reflection and refraction of signals for deploying
wireless underground sensor networks or for the monitoring of
objects on (or in ) soil in the form of better understanding of soil
electromagnetic characteristics properties. The moisture content has
been very instrumental in such studies as it decides on the resistance
of the soil, and hence the attenuation on signals traveling through soil
or the attenuation the signals may suffer upon their impact on soil.
This work is related testing and characterizing a measurement circuit
meant for the detection of moisture level content in soil |
