agricultural sensing

We collected experimental field data with a prototype open-ended waveguide sensor (WR975) operating between 600 MHz - 1300 MHz. With our prototype sensor we collected reflection coefficient measurements at a total of 50 unique 1-ft^2 sites across two separate established cranberry beds in central Wisconsin. The sensor was placed directly on top of cranberry-crop bed canopies, and we obtained 12 independent reflection coefficient measurements (each defined as one S11 sweep across frequency) at each 1-ft^2 site by randomly rotating and/or translating the sensor aperture above each site. After
