Based on the propagation rules of electromagnetic waves in metal conductors, this paper analyzes the characteristics of electric field and magnetic field of internal conductors. Then the complex power of electromagnetic wave is calculated. The impedance calculation formula of metal conductor is derived. Moreover, in order to identify and detect defects of metal casing, an alternating current im...

Design and fabrication of a low cost sensor for measuring electric field over a broad range of electromagnetic (EM) frequency is presented. The electric field probe consists of an electrically short dipole antenna and diode detector connected to an instrumentation amplifier via a high impedance line. The rectified diode voltage is conveyed over the high impedance line for real time data acquisi...

The potential of Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) for localising seizure foci was examined in a rat model of epilepsy. The known seizure focus was successfully imaged, which appeared as a transient (~10 ms) decrease in impedance during spikes – due to the opening of ion channels, followed by a gradual increase in impedance as cells swelled.

We review theoretical and numerical studies of the inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography which seeks the electrical conductivity and permittivity inside a body, given simultaneous measurements of electrical currents and potentials at the boundary. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version)

Variable acoustic properties can be obtained at the diaphragm of an electroacoustic transducer, with the help of very basic control strategies, among which is the simple electrical shunting of the transducer. These shunt techniques are compared to active feedback techniques for controlling the acoustic impedance of an electroacoustic transducer. It is shown here that the formulation of feedback...

Electric fish evaluate the near environment by detecting changes in their self-generated electric organ discharge. To investigate impedance modulation of the self-generated electric field, this field was measured at the electrosensory fovea of Gymnotus carapo in the presence and absence of objects. Changes in local fields provoked by resistive objects were predicted by the change in total energ...

BACKGROUND For electroporation-based therapies, accurate modeling of the electric field distribution within the target tissue is important for predicting the treatment volume. In response to conventional, unipolar pulses, the electrical impedance of a tissue varies as a function of the local electric field, leading to a redistribution of the field. These dynamic impedance changes, which depend ...
