The ring oscillator output current can be used for bioimpedance measurements as a current stimulus via a current buffer. Two quadrature output currents are converted using current-input comparators to in-phase and quadrature square voltages needed for demodulation on the bioimpedance readout side.

The open-circuit voltage of an indium antimonide transducer subject to acoustic resonance is amplified 0.3 percent per Kelvin by an increase in temperature. Quantum effects on carrier transport and behavior also depend on temperature, so there are temperature limits in which quantum effects are minimal.
