Dielectric constant monitor |
摘要 |
Monitoring of the average dielectric constant in an extended volume of a medium such as soil is achieved using an oscillator incorporating a transmission line to be embedded in the medium. The transmission line is connected as the feedback loop of an amplifier, for one-way propagation of an electrical signal with a delay determined largely by the dielectric properties of the medium, such as its moisture content. The oscillation frequency is indicative of the dielectric constant of the medium.
