How TDT⁵ Works

Discover the innovative process powering our patented time-domain transmissometry technology.

01

Pulse Transmission

TDT⁵ sends a high-frequency electromagnetic pulse through its coiled antenna structure, designed to have an effective length five times longer than its physical size.

02

Signal Interaction

As the pulse travels, the soil’s moisture alters the wave’s speed. The system measures these timing changes, filtering out noise with advanced circuitry and algorithms.

03

Moisture Calculation

TDT⁵ converts the measured travel time into volumetric water content, producing stable, repeatable readings that reflect the soil’s true moisture levels.

How is TDT⁵ different from traditional soil moisture sensors?
TDT⁵ uses Time Domain Transmissometry with a five times longer effective antenna length and multi-depth measurement segments. This allows it to measure moisture across the full soil profile instead of at a single point. The result is higher accuracy, better stability, and a clearer understanding of how water moves through the soil.
Does TDT⁵ require calibration for different soil types?
TDT⁵ is designed to perform consistently across a wide range of soil types with minimal calibration. Unlike capacitance sensors, it does not require frequent soil-specific recalibration and maintains stable readings over long-term deployments, even in clay-rich or saline soils.
How deep can TDT⁵ measure soil moisture?

How does TDT⁵ perform in saline or clay-heavy soils?
TDT⁵ maintains accurate and repeatable measurements in saline and clay-rich soils where other technologies often fail. Its measurement approach is less sensitive to electrical conductivity, reducing signal distortion and long-term drift in challenging soil conditions.
Can TDT⁵ be integrated with existing data loggers or IoT systems?
