This paper presents the results of two types of test in one kind of sand to obtain resistivity and permittivity values for frequency ranging from Hz to MHz. One test involved wave generation at specific frequencies and the other an impulse generator (continuous frequency spectrum). Tests were made for three humidity values. The results of both test revealed non-linear performance on test electrode surface. Such non-linearity was modelled and eliminated to give the permittivity and resistivity values in frequency domain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
