Adaptative ECT System Based on Reconfigurable Electronics Morales Santos, Diego Pedro López Ruiz, Nuria Castillo Morales, María Encarnación García Ríos, Antonio Martínez Olmos, Antonio Electrical capacitance tomography Reconfigurable Programmable System on Chip Smart-device Android In this work we present a novel scheme for the design of electrical capacitance tomography systems that is based on the use of reconfigurable electronics. The objective of this strategy is to generate an adaptable and portable prototype for the processing electronics, i.e., an instrument suitable to be easily transported and applied to different ECT sensors and scenarios with no need of hardware redesign. In order to show the benefits of this approach, a prototype of the processing electronics for the readings of the inter-electrode capacitance values has been implemented using a Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) that allows configuring both analog and digital blocks included in the design. The result is a compact and portable instrument that can work with any ECT sensor up to 8 electrodes. The measurements are sent through a wireless Bluetooth link to an external smart-device such as smartphone, where the permittivity distribution is reconstructed using a custom-developed Android application. 2023-11-07T09:25:08Z 2023-11-07T09:25:08Z 2015-07-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article https://hdl.handle.net/10481/85503 dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2015.07.035 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
