Boundary Conditions: Lossless Lines01:21

Boundary Conditions: Lossless Lines

Consider a single-phase, two-wire, lossless transmission line terminated by an impedance at the receiving end and a source with Thevenin voltage and impedance at the sending end. The line, with length, has a surge impedance and wave velocity determined by the line's inductance and capacitance.
At the receiving end, the boundary condition states that the voltage equals the product of the receiving-end impedance and current. This relationship is expressed as a function of the incident and...

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics

When an electric field passes from one homogeneous medium to another, crossing the boundary between the two mediums imparts a discontinuity in the electric field. This results in electrostatic boundary conditions that depend on the type of mediums the field propagates through.
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's permittivity.
Bode Plots Construction01:24

Bode Plots Construction

The Bode plot is an essential tool in control system analysis, mapping the frequency response of a system through a magnitude plot and a phase plot, both against a logarithmic frequency axis. To construct a Bode plot, consider the transfer function H(ω):
Electrostatic Boundary Conditions01:16

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions

Consider an external electric field propagating through a homogeneous medium. When the electric field crosses the surface boundary of the medium, it undergoes a discontinuity. The electric field can be resolved into normal and tangential components. The amount by which the field changes at any boundary is given by the difference between the field components above and below the surface boundary.
The surface integral of an electric field is given by Gauss's law in integral form and is related to...

Mesh Analysis for AC Circuits

In the domain of radio communication, the significance of impedance matching must be considered. It is crucial to ensure the efficient transmission of signals between radio transmitters and receivers. Achieving this balance involves using impedance-matching circuits, with one fundamental configuration comprising a resistor, capacitor, and inductor.
The process of harmonizing these impedances begins with a clear understanding of the input and output signals. Once these signals are known, the...
Impedances and Admittance01:23

Impedances and Admittance

In the realm of AC circuits, passive circuit elements like resistors, inductors, and capacitors take on a different character when characterized by phasor voltage and current. Their behavior is expressed through impedance, a vital concept in AC circuit analysis.
Impedance is a measure of resistance to sinusoidal current flow in an AC circuit. Unlike their behavior in DC circuits, where inductors appear as short circuits and capacitors as open circuits, the behavior of these components in AC...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Electromagnetics

Background:

  • Ill-posed inverse problems, common in medical imaging, require robust reconstruction techniques.
  • Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging modality sensitive to conductivity changes within biological tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply and evaluate shape-based modeling for current-injection EIT reconstructions.
  • To introduce and test novel shape models and regularization techniques for parameterizing conductivity inhomogeneities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a boundary element method (BEM) for EIT solutions.
  • Developed two shape models: modified B-splines and spherical harmonics for BEM geometry parameterization.
  • Implemented and tested three regularization techniques with the shape models.

Main Results:

  • Achieved reasonable reconstructions of conductivity inhomogeneities in simulated and experimental EIT data, even with noise.
  • Demonstrated the ability to parameterize the geometry of piecewise constant conductivity regions.
  • The methods showed promise in noisy environments, comparable to or exceeding typical signal-to-noise ratios in modern EIT systems.

Conclusions:

  • Shape-based approaches offer implicit constraints and reduce unknowns, beneficial for nonlinear EIT problems.
  • The proposed B-spline and spherical harmonic shape models, combined with regularization, provide effective parameterization for EIT reconstructions.
  • These methods show potential for practical application in clinical and research settings with improved EIT instrumentation.
