Abstract :
The authors develop an electrical model of a soil moisture sensor using data collected from an automated data acquisition system. The model developed, which is useful in expediting sensor design, is capable of predicting the responses of the sensor at different moisture conditions and at different frequencies. Comparison of the model and experimental data is included.<>
