A Design Based on Bioimpedance Spectroscopy Method in Human Abdominal Adipose Measurement System

Abstract:

This article describes a measurement of human abdominal fat device designed based on BIS (bioimpedance spectroscopy), the device adopts four electrodes multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance measurement system, including the programmable signal generator module and the amplitude and phase detection module. Program controlled signal generator module can generate the high output impedance of the constant current source in the eight frequency points constant current source between 5KHz and1MHz; amplitude phase detecting module can detect the human body electrical impedance real part and imaginary part information. Therefore, the device can be accurate measurement of human abdominal impedance information in the whole frequency range. Meanwhile, according to the selected electrode fixed position and the appropriate measurement scheme, can calculate the corresponding depth of abdominal fat content.
