Finite difference analysis of an open-ended, coaxial sensor made of semi- rigid coaxial cable for determination of moisture in Tenera oil palm fruit

In this paper, the use of the Finite Difference Method (FDM) is proposed to determine the reflection coefficient of an open-ended coaxial sensor for determining the moisture content of oil palm fruit. Semirigid open-ended coaxial sensor is used in conjunction with Vector Network Analyzer for reflect...
