Abstract
A method for determining a density of a harvested material includes transmitting radar signals into the harvested material from a transmitting unit, receiving the radar signals reflected by the harvested material by a receiving unit, determining a permittivity of the harvested material as a function of the reflected radar signals via an evaluation unit, and determining the density of the harvested material as a function of the determined permittivity via a signal processing unit.
