How does an FDR sensor work?

The FDR sensor is a device used to determine the volumetric water content in the soil. FDR stands for Frequency Domain Reflectometry. The sensor measures the soil’s ability to store electrical charge and uses this to determine the water content. What is charge storage capacity? Capacitors are used to store electrical charge. A capacitor consists of two conductors […]
