• Electrical Engineering
• Medical Physics

Background:

• Electrical Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (EBIS) is widely used for physiological measurements.
• Measurement artifacts, particularly capacitive leakage from stray capacitances, degrade EBIS data accuracy at higher frequencies.
• This artifact complicates reliable EBIS measurements, especially for applications requiring high-frequency data.

• To facilitate reliable EBIS data analysis at higher frequencies (300-500 kHz).

Main Methods:

• Development of a novel method to estimate the equivalent parasitic capacitance.
• Theoretical validation of the proposed estimation method.
• Experimental testing and validation of the method's accuracy.

Main Results:

• The proposed method provides a more accurate estimation of parasitic capacitance compared to previous techniques.
• Successful compensation of capacitive influence in EBIS measured data.
• Demonstrated feasibility of analyzing EBIS data at higher frequencies (300-500 kHz).

Conclusions:

• The novel method effectively removes capacitive leakage artifacts in EBIS.
• Accurate parasitic capacitance estimation enhances EBIS data reliability at high frequencies.
