Analysis, design, and implementation of an AC bridge for impedance measurements

Abstract

The paper reviews the digital AC bridge. A more accurate and thorough analysis of the bridge is presented. Based on the analysis a simple adaptive algorithm is proposed in order to ensure fast conversion. In addition, a new design of the bridge, based on the TMS 320C25, is given. The system is implemented with the Dalanco Spry model 25 DSP board, on a software system designed whereby an IBM PC host computer provides control of the bridge. Experimental results are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
