摘要: Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a well-established method for the measurement of moisture in various materials, especially soils. Standard waveform analysis usually provides average water content along length TDR probe, while more sophisticated methods are required to reconstruct spatial profile. A reconstruction algorithm has been developed which uses one- or two-sided reflection data calculate capacitance and conductivity distributions from profiles can be derived. Several examples demonstrate performance under conditions lossless lossy materials.
