Abstract :
Under natural climatic conditions, the dielectric characteristics of soil such as volumetric moisture content, complex dielectric permittivity, etc., are subjected to variations across the surface and over the depth. Due to these variations soils represent complex media. It is the distribution of complex dielectric permittivity with respect to the depth that affects the impedance of dipole antenna sensors most critically.
