| description | Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is an advanced measurement method for providing information on impedance changes at several frequencies by injecting a low current into a device under test and analyzing the response voltage. Several methods have been elaborated for BIS measurement, calculating impedance with a gain phase detector (GPD), IQ demodulation, and fast Fourier transform (FFT). Although the measurement method has a big influence on the measurement system performance, a systematical comparative study has not been performed yet. In this paper, we compare them based on simulations and experimental studies. To maintain similar conditions in the implementation of all methods, we use the same signal generator followed by a voltage-controlled current source (VCCS) as a signal generator. For performance analysis, three DUTs have been designed to imitate the typical behavior of biological tissues. A laboratory impedance analyzer is used as a reference. The comparison addresses magnitude measurement accuracy, phase measurement accuracy, signal processing, hardware complexity, and power consumption. The result shows that the FFT-based system excels with high accuracy for amplitude and phase measurement while providing the lowest hardware complexity, and power consumption, but it needs a much higher software complexity. |
