Subminiature panel (SMA-P) coaxial sensor for the determination of moisture content of mango cv. Chok Anan

The research describes the development of a simple, cheap and efficient open-ended coaxial sensor for the determination of moisture content of Chok Anan mango during fruit ripening from week 5 to week 17. The sensor was a modification of a standard subminiature panel (SMA-P). The finite element meth...
