Complex Permittivity of Soils of Western Rajasthan at Microwave Frequency

Article Preview

Abstract:

Complex permittivity (ε', ε'') of soil sample of Western Rajasthan region is measured at 9.385 GHz for various moisture content at a temperature of 200c. The dielectric constant of dry soil is found in good agreement with literature values. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of moist soil increases with increase in moisture content in soil. The dielectric data is used to calculate ac conductivity and emissivity.
