Abstract
Apparatus and method are disclosed for detecting the moisture gradient in a moving web. A radio frequency signal is applied to a transmitting means which transmits an electromagnetic field through the web being sensed. The moisture gradient of the web is monitored by sensing a control signal which is indicative of fluctuations in the strength of the transmitted electromagnetic field owing to the absorption of energy by moisture on the web moved through the field.
