Waveform generator for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) using linear interpolation with multiplying D/A converters.
This paper describes the implementation of a multiplying digital-to-analogue (D/A) converter as a programmable waveform generator to be used in an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system. Different digital techniques of generation waveforms are considered and the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen slope-plus-pedestal technique are presented. A wire-wrapped prototype system has been designed, and from measured frequency spectra the total harmonic distortion can be calculated to values between 1.1 and 2.9% depending on frequency.
