Abstract
The global navigation satellite system-interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) was developed more than a decade ago to monitor soil moisture content (SMC); a system that is essentially finished has emerged. The standard GNSS-IR model typically considers soil to be a single layer of medium and measures the average SMC between 1 and 10 cm below the soil surface. The majority of the SMC is not distributed uniformly along the longitudinal axis. This study is based on a simulation platform and suggests a SMC-stratified measurement model that can be used to recover the SMC at different depths in the sink and reverse osmosis to address the issue that conventional techniques cannot accurately measure soil moisture at different depths. The soil moisture of each layer was assessed by utilizing the GNSS signals reflected by various soil layers, and this study employed total transmission when the vertical linearly polarized component of the electromagnetic wave was conveyed by the GNSS signal reflected by the soil. This work employed the Hilbert transform to obtain the interference signal envelope, which increases the visibility of the interference signal's "notch" and reduces the burr impact of the interference signal brought on by ambient noise. The accuracy of the SMC measurement at the bottom declines due to the soil's attenuation of the GNSS signal power, but the correlation between the predetermined value and SMC retrieved by the GNSS-IR multilayer SMC measurement model similarly approached 0.92.
