Abstract

A digital signal processing (DSP)-based instrument for impedance measurement is proposed. It implements two measurement techniques: the first technique allows the tracking of a time varying impedance to be carried out, and the second assures that good accuracy is obtained in reasonable measurement times. Both the software and the hardware of a prototype model are described in detail. The measurement rates and accuracy are evaluated and compared with those obtained using a reference Digibridge for a wide range of impedance values
