    Standing Wave Principle

    Standing Wave Principle


    The standing wave principle is a highly accurate technique to measure the moisture content of soil and other media. The standing wave principle can precisely measure a percentage change in volumetric water content without calibration. With calibration, the standing wave principle can measure the exact volumetric water content in any soil or other media. Importantly, the standing wave principle is not affected by external influences such as temperature, salinity and toxins.
