Soil moisture sensors based on metamaterials

Blog Article

In this paper novel miniature metamaterial-based soil moisture sensors are presented.The sensors are based on resonant-type Tracker Bottle metamaterials and employ split-ring resonators (SRR), spiral resonators and fractal SRRs to achieve small dimensions, high sensitivity, and compatibility with standard planar fabrication technologies.All these features make the proposedsensors suitable for deployment in agriculture Hoses for precise mapping of soil humidity.
