Dr. Jack Liu of the Department of Forestry Products requires the use of a portable RF moisture content sensor Needs a smaller, inexpensive, repackage of his patented prototype
The Actual RF Apparatus [1]
Repackage his working prototype by using integrated circuits to replace test-bench equipment.
Technical Constraints Practical Constraints
