The effects of change in moisture level on dielectric properties have also been studied. Both, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss were found to increase with increase in moisture level while the same show a decreasing trend with increase in frequency. In order to investigate the effect of moisture content on the dielectric properties of argemone seeds, the measurements have been taken at five different moisture levels.Main title: Yes %K Dielectric constant %K dielectric loss %K moisture %K argemone %U http://www.icstm.ro/DOCS/josa/josa_2012_2/c_01_Khan_MS.pdf
