This paper proposes a microstrip wide-ring sensor and a microstrip coupled-line sensor for measuring the percentage of broken rice (BR) based on microwave measurement technique. Sensors with low insertion loss were developed to operate within a frequency range from 1 GHz to 3 GHz. The variations in...
