Abstract : This paper focusses on detecting the moisture content (%) of tree leaves (Eucalyptus, Tea) with the help of Microwave technology. Traditional method involves calculating the weight of the sample before and after drying, and then detecting the moisture percentage. In this process, microwaves are passed through leaf samples and the reflected signal is analyzed. Generally, this technology uses frequency shift, phase shift and attenuation as the main parameters in moisture content detection. In our project, we analyze the frequency shift of the reflected signal and use it as a main parameter to detect the moisture content. Keywords - Moisture detection, CST, microwaves, tree leaves, microwave frequency, di electric property, horn antenna, frequency shift.
