Abstract: The paper presents multifactor experimental studies for determining the apparent soil resistivity and the dielectric permittivity depending on the frequency of the electromagnetic field, the multilayered structure, moisture content and density of the soil. The gravimetric method for considering the soil moisture during the experimental researches was chosen. The received experimental results were statistically processed and a mathematical modelling of the controlled parameters was performed considering the specifics of the examined soil. These analytically obtained results of the dependences would contribute to more precise sizing of the grounding systems and could be used for creation of accurate simulation models for the study of wave processes in them.
