  • Abstract
    In this paper the measurement of breathing and pulse signals from the human body by using the electrical bioimpedance is discussed. The results of using contact and capacitive electrodes are compared. The influence of motion artifacts and parasitic circuit elements as relevant phenomena are discussed. The conclusions are made concerning the influence of motion artifacts to the measurement of vital signs.
