Based on a linear model of a moist capillary-porous material
that is located in an electromagnetic microwave field, basic
relations between the measured parameters and moisture content
been obtained for amplitude and resonator methods. Calculated
and experimental dependences of the attenuation of the microwave
energy on moisture content and variants of application of moisture
meters of the Microradar series are presented.
