In this paper, a dual frequency phase sensitive demodulation (PSD) technique is suggested to measure electrode voltages in electrical impedance tomography. The simulation results obtained by the dual frequency PSD are compared with the single frequency PSD in terms of accuracy on a simple phantom.

Also, the power-handling capacity of a transmission line is maximum when it is "flat", i.e., operating at low SWR. Lastly, it is important to be able to interconnect a number of different components into a system, and the only way that can be done reliably and predictably is by constraining the reflection coefficients of the various interfaces through impedance matching. Multiple reflections ca...

A number of techniques can be used to eliminate reflections when the characteristic impedance of the line and the load impedance are mismatched. Impedance matching techniques can be designed to be effective for a specific frequency of operation (narrow band techniques) or for a given frequency spectrum (broadband techniques). The purpose of this paper is to make a comparative study on bandwidth...

This paper presents a self-powered piezoelectric energy harvesting circuit using frequency conversion. A vibration energy harvesting principle is introduced. Due to a capacitive characteristic of the piezoelectric vibration transducer, an energy harvesting circuit is proposed for matching the capacitive impedance. The energy harvesting circuit consists of a matching circuit with up-conversion, ...

aorta is formed in a dynamic environment which gives rise to imbalances between many forces that tend to extend the diameter and length. furthermore, internal forces tend to resist this extension. impedance tomography can show this imbalance to stimulate the stenosis of aortic valve, growth of the elastic, collagen and to effectively reduce the stresses in the underlying tissue. in blood flow, ...

Because all microstrip antennas have to be matched to the standard generator impedance or load, the input impedance matching method for antenna is particularly important. In this paper a new methodology in achieving matching impedance of a planar microstrip antenna for wireless application is described. The method is based on embedding an Interdigital capacitor. The fine results obtained by usi...

The electric impedance of cultured myoblasts oriented on the scaffold with micro pattern has been measured between surface electrodes in vitro. Several parallel lines of micro rectangular ridges (0.001 mm height, 0.003 mm width, and 0.003 mm interval) have been made between a pair of the surface titanium electrodes at the surface of the scaffold of glass by the photolithography technique. C2C12...
