Microwave properties of geological materials: Studies of penetration depth and moisture effects

Summarized are the results of two of a series of controlled experiments performed during the summer of 1970. The first series of experiments to determine penetration depth showed the value of having a modeled response and data reduced in real time for examination in the field. The results suggest a...
