Because the degree of change in the dielectric constant with the change in moisture content decreases with increasing frequency [3], the difference in the dielectric constants of a parallel-plate capacitor, holding wheat samples between the plates, measured at the two frequencies (1 MHz and 5 MHz) should be a good estimator of moisture content.

In the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, C = [[epsilon].sub.0][[epsilon].sub.r]A/t, it is the relative dielectric constant, [[epsilon].sub.r], that is varied in a BST capacitor, and can be typically varied by a 2:1 ratio or greater.
