Impedance measurement in IEEE 21451 transducer interface modules

Abstract

The paper deals with an impedance measurement technique that could be real time executed by smart transducers. The technique is based on a standardized data structure (in the following named MCT), that is a new way to represent sampled signals within transducer interface modules, as defined in the standard IEEE 21451-001-2017. At first, the MCT data structure is briefly presented. Then the impedance measurement algorithm is described. Finally, the results of some simulation tests are reported and discussed.
