Abstract
This paper presented the case study of the radio frequency (RF) waves absorptions by papaya trees. The experiment is focused on the frequency which is transmitted from free space (existing signal) and by a RF generator. The RF signal is detected by a simple a set-up consisting of a Yagi antenna and a spectrum analyzer. From this study, it was found out that the papaya trees absorbed RF, where the fruits absorb the maximum RF waves followed by the trunk and the leaves.
