Soil conduct ance has a dramatic change on analyzing soil water content . A novel p robe cap acitance sensor based on p arameter modulation for sensing soil sample water content is introduced in order to eliminating t he conductance influence. The mechanism of p arameter s modulation is analyzed and t he mat hematic model is established. A kind of modula ting circuit and data acquisition system are designed for t hese applications. A sensor and a device for measuring the soil water content in field are fabricated after optimizing some parameter s. Experimental data demonstrates good sensitivity to parameter variation , and a nearly linear dependency is observed between soil water content and the measured sample voltage when t he soil water content is below 25 %.
