Abstract

Fruit nutrition is the necessary part of human diet; hence determination of its quality has importance. The analysis of fruit quality is also a critical task in the commercial market. The non-invasive method is the most referred technique for quality evaluation.  In this paper, the microwave technique is proposed and discussed. Both transmitter and receiver antennas are designed for a 2.45 GHz ISM band.  In this paper, a microwave system is proposed to determine the different conditions of an apple, so that the rejection of the internally rotten apple is possible.
