Abstract

We have developed a wide frequency bandwidth current source based on phase-locked-loop (PLL) technique for an electrical impedance tomography spectroscopy (EITS) system up to 4 MHz in which the frequency range and gaps between frequencies can be easily programmed. This design is particularly useful in a clinical investigation where the multi-frequency covers a wide range with selectable intervals. The current design of frequency range is between 500 Hz to 4 MHz. The minimum frequency interval between any two frequencies is 6.25% of the frequencies
