A Study of Methods for Detecting Batocera Rufomaculata

Abstract

This research aims to study the feasibility of using frequency wave to detect Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer) penetrating durian stems. The X-Band Motion Detector is designed to emit a 10.525 GHz of frequency and transmit it through the cavity wood. The designed frequency is implemented for early stages of the Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer). The developed device operates at 0.2A, 239V and 47.80W. Experiment is set up to verify the hole positions of durian wood. Three different types of woods are selected to test in the experiments. The experimental results show that the designed device is able to precisely detect the hole position. However, due to rough texture of bark, lenticel of the wood, there is an error occurring in dropper frequency which may result in the performance of the detecting device.
