Measurements have to be precise, as small changes in real or imaginary parts of the impedance can indicate early changes in the structure or in the sensor. EIS methods, by one frequency at a time, are time and energy consuming, limiting such approach for embedded systems. Alternative faster methods of EIS are suggested here and tested in an PC-based experimental setup, with a composite plate and PZTs. Usage of simultaneous multi-frequency or wide-band excitation signals like chirps have been studied and compared.</p>}, number={7}, journal={Elektronika ir Elektrotechnika}, author={Märtens, O. and Saar, T. and Min, M. and Land, R. and Reidla, M.}, year={2010}, month={Aug.}, pages={31-34} }
