This is especially important to that part of water that directly affects living organisms, that is soil water. Its volume is not more than 0.05% of total water on the Earth but its importance in the habitat of all living creatures is priceless especially for food production. Water balance between agricultural production and natural ecosystems is not stable because irrigation water is lost to natural ecosystems and can lead to their decline. Therefore, soil water amount and quality should be monitored in automatic and non-invasive way. The paper presents electromagnetic methods and sensors for monitoring soil water content. Special attention is put of the respective microwave tools, their advantages and prospects for the future of soil moisture metrology.","PeriodicalId":185201,"journal":{"name":"2020 Baltic URSI Symposium (URSI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123508145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It utilizes nine calibration loads which can be of unknown magnitude and phase, however, three of them must exhibit magnitudes possibly close to each other with a reasonable phase separation. The algorithm was tested with the use of an exemplary broadband six-port reflectometer operating over the frequency range from 2.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz. The power values obtained using the proposed method are very close to those directly measured by the six-port reflectometer with a broadband matched load from precision calibration kit connected as DUT.","PeriodicalId":185201,"journal":{"name":"2020 Baltic URSI Symposium (URSI)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127562182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sensing results are then transmitted to fusion centers in cluster heads, where they are combined using evidence theory based on Dempster-Shafer theory. The achieved simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms commonly used rules and gives a high probability of proper signal detection and low probability of false alarms.","PeriodicalId":185201,"journal":{"name":"2020 Baltic URSI Symposium (URSI)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129284025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
