Abstract:
This paper presents a new technique of predicting the reflection coefficient of a microwave sensor for oil palm fruits using finite element method (FEM). Comparison results between measured and calculated reflection coefficient were found to be in good agreement with magnitude and phase errors of less than 0.05 and 0.2 radian.
