2.3.1 Existing architecture

The fundamental concept of this design is the conversion of current through ZX into a voltage using an amplification factor of RF. The output of amplifier A2 is given in Equation 1

Equation 1. GUID-66FC17AF-74BF-46AD-B0A9-A154CEBC6D59-low.gif

If RF is known then Zx can be estimated using Equation 1. Figure 2-2 illustrates this architecture.

In this method, multiple values of RF can be used for multiple ranges of impedance, as shown in Figure 2-6. This approach of using multiple RF values improves the accuracy.
