Impedance measurement device and method
Abstract:
A digital sine wave may be converted to an analog signal at a digital to analog converter (DAC). The converted analog signal may be supplied to a device and an analog return signal from the device may be passed through a relaxed anti-aliasing filter and converted to digital code words at an analog to digital converter (ADC). An impedance may be calculated from the results of a Fourier analysis of the digital code words. The ADC and DAC clock frequencies may be asynchronous, independently variable, and have a greatest common factor of 1. The clock frequencies of the ADC and/or DAC may be adjusted to change a location of images in the ADC spectrum. By using these different, adjustable clock frequencies for the ADC and the DAC, an analog signal may have increased aliasing without introducing signal errors at a frequency of interest.
