Abstract

In this study, the bio-impedance of the human body is able to obtain a lot of information by monitoring the pathological and physiological conditions of clinical and biological tissues. The four electrode method system for biometrics measured the potential difference between two electrodes and the other two electrodes were used as electrodes for current flow. The newly developed dry gold electrode measured impedance from 1 Hz to 50 kHz and produced reproducible results. To verify the impedance measurement of the dry electrode, the pitting was performed using an equivalent circuit model of the bioelectrode skin, and the effectiveness was demonstrated through modeling. Fixed electrode types have a constant position of the electrodes attached during the measurement, so that a stable measurement can be obtained, thereby minimizing the error.

본 연구에서는 인체의 생체임피던스는 임상 및 생물학적 조직의 병적 및 생리적 상태를 모니터링 하여 많은 정보를 획득 가능하다. 생체임피던측정용 4 전극법시스템은 2개의 전극은 생체의 전위차를 측정하였고, 다른 두 전극은 전류를 흘러주는 전극으로 사용하였다. 새롭게 개발된 건식 Gold 전극은 1 Hz에서 50 kHz 까지 임피던스를 측정하였으며, 재현성 있는 결과를 얻었다. 건식전극의 임피던스 측정값을 검증하기 위해서 생체전극피부등가회로를 이용하여 피팅을 실시하였고 모델링을 통해서 실효성을 증명하였다. 고정 전극형태는 측정 시 부착되는 전극의 위치가 일정하므로 안정적인 측정값을 얻을 수 있어서 오류를 최소화할 수 있다.
