Abstract:

To simplify the excitation generation and data acquisition of the electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) system, a simple hardware design for ECT system was developed. The theory and hardware architecture of the ECT system were introduced. Under the control of DSP, the excitation and measure of entire system were controlled, the conversion of voltage signal from capacitance/ voltage (C/V) to analog/digital (A/D) was controlled. After demodulation and filter, the reconstruction images were achieved through communication circuit to computer by DSP. The experiments show that the real-time of system and the quality of reconstruction image are satisfactory, can meet the requirements of practical application.
