    Notes: Abstract The architecture of a novel phantom for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is proposed. The design employs active elements, which include multiplying digital to analogue converters (MDAC), so that the impedance distribution in the phantom may be varied dynamically using computer control. The phantom is designed to assist in the validation of an EIT system under test. A number of published layouts for passive phantoms are analysed, and the requirements for an active element are specified for the most applicable of these. The use of active elements throughout a phantom imposes significant costs because of the need for each active element to operate independently. This proposal limits the cost and complexity by employing active elements in a restricted region of the phantom. Currently available technology, principally due to the limited analogue bandwidth of the MDAC, precludes the construction of a fully capable phantom from active elements. However, a design is specified that would enable its future development to cover the frequency range from 10kHz to 1 MHz.

    Notes: Abstract A practical design for the synthesis of a digitally controlled electrical impedance element is presented. The impedance element comprises a real impedance element in series with a voltage source whose magnitude is determined by the applied voltage multiplied by a factor k. The value of k is shown strongly to affect the circuit's performance. Results are presented which demonstrate the correspondence between circuit models and practical measurements. When negative values for k were employed the circuit element offered a controlled impedance range of 1:1000 and was stable to at least 1.5MHz, providing that low source impedance values were used. With a positive k, a restricted range of impedance values could be obtained and the value of source impedance was less critical, though the circuit's performance was acceptable only to about 100 kHz. Consideration is given to the specification of a multiplier that would permit the circuit's range of application to be extended to low megahertz frequencies.
