  • Abstract
    Non - invasive Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) has previously been developed for determining the moisture content of various materials at a spatial resolution of the same order as the length of the parallel transmission lines. In this paper we give preliminary results of measuring the moisture content at a much higher resolution using a tomographic approach.
