Abstract

A procedure for measuring the permittivity of “living” wood is proposed. The permittivity of the trunk of a growing tree ε *1 has been measured by this procedure. Simultaneously, samples of wood of the same tree have been taken and their permittivities ε *0 determined under laboratory conditions. The obtained values has been compared, and considerable disagreement between measured ε *1 and ε *0 has been revealed. The study has been performed to model the reflection of microwaves from the forest.
