Practical Implementation of a Novel Output Impedance Measurement Technique for EIT System While Attached to a Load
Abstract:
A novel method for measuring the output impedance of current sources in an EIT system is implemented and tested. The paper shows that the proposed method can be used at the time of operation while the load is attached to the EIT system. the results also show that performance of the system improves when the shunt impedance values from the proposed technique are used to set the adaptive sources as opposed to the shunt impedance values acquired through open circuit measurements.

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.
