Abstract
Approaches include selecting a desired location for the measurement of electromagnetic spectroscopic impedance data for correlation with a physical property of a material under test (MUT) with electromagnetic impedance tomography. The MUT is first characterized tomographically with a series of four-terminal electrode patterns at a single current frequency. Measured and computed values of electromagnetic impedance for the voxels and sub-voxels of the MUT are determined. The sub-voxel with a targeted value of impedance is selected and matched with the specific four-terminal electrode pattern related to that sub-voxel. The spectrographic electromagnetic impedance measurements are made across a range of frequencies for the selected sub-voxel, using all of the four-terminal electrode patterns required to compute the tomographic impedance value of the selected sub-voxel. The computed spectrographic electromagnetic impedance value for the selected sub-voxel is then correlated to a physical property of the MUT.
