Microwave penetration in soils

Simulations investigated the influence of soil texture and moisture and operating conditions on electric field penetration into the soil and inducted soil temperature profiles. Depending on the amount of vegetation present, its dielectric properties, height and geometry size, shape and orientation of its component parts the sensitivity of microwave backscatter to volumetric soil moisture may be significantly reduced. The capacity of the air gas stream to absorb and carry away moisture determines the drying rate and establishes the duration of the drying cycle. Close window. There are a number of approaches to determine the end of the drying process. It also presents the constructive solution of the microwave equipment designed for the contaminated soil in situ treatment.
