How Each Technology Works.

Understanding the underlying physics is essential to selecting the right technology. Both methods exploit distinct electromagnetic interactions with water molecules.

W(%) = f(Δt, Δφ, ε_r)
Time delay + phase shift → dielectric constant → moisture content

Microwaves penetrate the full depth of the material -- measuring bulk moisture, not just surface layers

Water's dielectric constant (ε≈80) vs. dry material (ε≈2-5) creates a measurable phase-shift signature

Dual-frequency measurement eliminates density and temperature cross-interference -- a key MOSYE patent innovation
