Electrical impedance: principles, measurement, applications

The book provides an overview of electrical impedance measurement science and its application in metrology, sensor reading, device and material characterizations. Main topics: - Reviews the main definitions of the quantities related to impedance and introduces the problem of impedance definition; - Lists devices, appliances, circuits, and instruments employed as building blocks of impedance measurement setups; - Classifies the main impedance measurement methods, including details on their implementation when a specific impedance definition is chosen; - Discusses the increasing use of mixed-signal electronics in impedance measurement setup; - Covers applications including details on the measurement of electromagnetic properties of material; - deals with impedance metrology, including artifact impedance standards, and the realization and reproduction of SI impedance units.
