Abstract

Microwave permittivities of corn and wheat were determined buy free-space measurements of complex transmission coefficients of grain samples located between two horn antennas.  Data for grain of various densities and moisture contents at 4.8 GHz and 9.4 GHz are presented and sources of errors are discussed.
