Abstract
An impedance measurement circuit includes a signal injector having a voltage input and a voltage output, a controllable switch, and a voltage drop device connected in parallel with the controllable switch between the voltage input and the voltage output. The voltage output is connected to a load. A voltage sensor is configured to measure a voltage across the load. A current sensor is configured to measure a current draw of the load. A computing device is configured to determine an impedance of the load at a frequency based on the measured voltage and the measured current. The computing device controls the switch based on the frequency.
