A Novel Method for the Accurate Measurement of Soil Infiltration Line by Portable Vector Network Analyzer

Accurate measurement of soil infiltration lines is very important for agricultural irrigation systems. It can help monitor the irrigation of soil to control irrigation amounts and promote crop growth. The soil infiltration line is a complex dynamic boundary and is difficult to model accurately, lead...
