## Abstract Calibration is required for most soil moisture sensors if accurate measurements are to be obtained. This can be time consuming and costly, especially if field calibration is undertaken, but can be facilitated by a good understanding of the behaviour of the particular sensor being calibr

Time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes are increasingly used for field and laboratory estimation of soil water content. Usual calibration of TDR probes for the determination of soil water content uses two media: air for low and water for high values of dielectric permittivity, although the measured
## Abstract Soil is the largest reservoir of water in a catchment and evapotranspiration is the largest yearly output flux of water from the soil in semiarid environments at the catchment scale. Hydrologic stress is one of the typical characteristics of semiarid environments. The shortage of water
## Abstract In this work, a waveguide impedance generator based on the use of three motorβcontrolled metallic stubs, a monomode cavity loaded with water and PTFE cylinders is used to calibrate a waveguide tenβport reflectometer.Radial basis function neural networks are used to learn the relationshi
