INTRODUCTION Measurement of electrical bio-impedance enables to characterise a state of tissues/organs, to get diagnostic images, to find hemodynamical parameters, etc. Simultaneous multichannel and multifrequency measurements are needed. Why multichannel ? Why multifrequency ? Why simultaneous ? Some examples of electrical bioimpedance measurement from cardiography a noninvasive b multielectrode invasive estimation c intracardiac impedance measured plethysmography of the ventricular volume for pacing control

ICEBI ’07 August 29th – September 2nd 2007 in GRAZ, AUSTRIA Simultaneous multi-frequency bio-impedance measurement applying synchronised uniform or non-uniform sampling A. Ronk, M. Min and T. Parve 14 TUT CONCLUSIONS The presented measurement signal system(s) and digital signalprocessingmethodenable to measure bioimpedance and to demodulatebio-modulationsof components of a multi-sine measurementsignal,which coversa widefrequency range (from kHz up to several MHz)simultaneously. The same can be done applying Fourier transformation but the proposed approach is significantly simpler andsuits well for microelectronic implementation (e.g. in FPGA). Thus it looks promising for applications in portable/wearable bioimpedance measurement systems of low power consumption. Thank you for your attention !
