An inline microwave sensor for carasau bread moisture estimation

Description

Water content estimation is of capital importance during the production process of the Carasau bread. A suitable microwave sensor could help monitor the moisture level in a non-invasive and reliable way. A simple narrowband patch antenna is proven to be more performing than dual band or wideband antennas. Magnitude and phase of the scattering parameters could help discriminate also between water content and other geometrical parameter variations.
