A method of measuring of an electrical bio-impedance, the method being
characterized in that a symmetrical bipolar pulse-form periodical
excitation signal (electrical current or voltage) is applied to the input
(11) of the bio-object (1), a corresponding reaction of the bio-object to
the mentioned excitation signal is measured from the output (12), which
is connected to the input (201) of the synchronous detector (200). A
symmetrical bipolar pulse-form periodical signal is also applied to the
reference input (202) of the synchronous detector (200), whereby both
pulse-form signals are shortened by the predetermined time interval in
each half period of the signal, said time intervals being different for
the excitation and reference signals. The proposed method ensures an
increased accuracy of the impedance analysis by decreasing the influence
of the higher harmonics in the spectra of the excitation and reference
signals of the synchronous detectors to the measurement result. The use
of the rectangular signals ensures that the device for implementing of
the proposed method has a simple design and low power consumption.
