Abstract

A Wireless Subterranean Soil Monitoring System. The system measures the complex permittivity around a subterranean antenna, and then responsively adjusts the antenna's tuning circuit according to the measured permittivity. Once tuned, the system will then execute the transmission of the probe data. Furthermore, the antenna design is adapted for subterranean use to further reduce the de-tuning effect of the adjacent soil.
