Abstract

Abstract

The fundamental parameters such as dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability are required to solve the propagation of electromagnetic wave(EM Wave) in the soil. Based on Maxwell equations, the equivalent model is proposed to calculate the dielectric permittivity of mixed soil. The results of calculation fit the test data well and will provide solid foundation for the application of EM wave in the soil moisture testing, CT analyzing of soil and the inspecting of geoenvironment.
