Abstract :
This paper presents the application of monopole sensor for determination of sweetness level of local oranges in Malaysia which can be investigated non-destructively. Simulation using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) version 2012 was carried out to observe the effect on reflection coefficient (S11) when the monopole sensor´s grounding dimension is varied. The unique design of a holder for local oranges that is made of nylon is enclosed in this project contributed to its invention. The experiment test bed was set up based on standard dimension of small monopole sensor available in the market. Actual measurement on Malaysian local oranges was measured and its dielectric permittivity is predicted using CST software.
