Modification of pulse wave signals in electrical bioimpedance analyzers for implantable medical devices.
The problems of application of pulse wave signals in electrical bioimpedance analyzers foreseen for using in implantable medical devices as diagnostical means are discussed in this paper. The main problem arises at measurement of phasor parameters by the aid of rectangular pulse wave signals. The specific measurement errors appear due to presence of higher harmonics in the spectra of pulse waveforms. These errors are discussed in two cases, in the case of full cycle rectangular waveform, and in the case of using the shortened pulses introduced specially for reduction of errors.
