Abstract

In the research community of Internet of underground things (IOUT) and smart farming, soil properties estimation presents a challenging task, especially the moisture content. Here, a small printed antenna, as a version of inverted F monopole modeled in a form of letters, is proposed for soil sensing. It is shown that a simple tuning of the proposed antenna underground can provide higher signal level and its difference between dry and moistened soil antenna environment.
