A quadrupole system is proposed for measuring in situ the dielectric and resistive properties of grounds and seas, with possible applications not only to prospecting on Earth but also to planetary exploration with penetrators and landers. The theoretical approach is outlined for simple geometries, a few practical arrangements are proposed for specific planetary missions and the feasibility of the measurements is demonstrated in the laboratory.
