FPGA Based Excitation Source in Biomedical Electrical Impedance Tomography System

Article Preview

Abstract:

An excitation source for biomedical electrical impedance tomography system based on FPGA is designed and implemented with 33 KHz bandwidth and adjustable phases. Codes are programmed with PicoBlaze instructions by Notepad++, and compiled to user programs by KCPSM3 assembler. Digital-analog conversion is carried out in interruption subroutine, the output digital signals are sampled at the setting frequency and filtered by a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter. The proposed method offers a novel effective and feasible approach to satisfy the requirements of excitation source in bioelectrical impedance tomography system.
