Modeling and simulation of a silicon soil moisture sensor based on the DPHP method for agriculture

A silicon soil moisture sensor, based in the dual-probe heat-pulse (DPHP) method, was modeled and simulated for achieving, with low cost, accurate and reliable measurements. This method is based on the application of a heat pulse during a fixed interval of time. The maximum rise in temperature (∆Tm)...
