In this paper, a vital signal sensor based on impedance variation of resonator is presented. Proposed vital signal sensor can detect the vital signal, such as respiration and heart-beat signal. System is composed of resonator, oscillator, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter, and power detector. The cyclical movement of a dielectric such as a human body, causes the impedance variation of resonator within the near-field range. So oscillator's oscillation frequency variation is effected on resonator's resonant frequency. SAW filter's skirt characteristic of frequency response can be transformed a small amount of frequency deviation to a large variation. Aim to enhance the existing sensor detection range, proposed sensor operates in 870 MHz ISM band, and detect respiration and heart-beat signal at distance of 120 mm.

The purpose of this study was to design a single frequency BIA(Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer) which can measure body impedance when patient is sitting on the toilet and to develope a prediction equation for designed BIA. For the purpose of this study, we acquired body impedances with designed BIA from 181 subjects composed of healthy Korean by attaching electrodes to suitable positions(wrist and thigh) for toilet measurement. We computed an appropriate FFM(Fat Free Mass) for Korean using modified-Siri equation to the same subjects instead of Siri equation which nay cause accuracy problems in hydrodensitometry when it applied to Korean. We used this FFM as reference value and developed a Korean FFM prediction equation based on body impedance index, body weight and sex. Correlation coefficient between prediction value and reference value of FFM was extremely high (r = 0.977) and SEE(Standard Error of Estimation) was low 2.47kg.(p<0.05) For comparison between existing electrode-attaching method and our method for toilet measurement, we acquired body impedance with designed BIA from same subjects attaching electrodes on existing positions (wrist and ankle) and made FFM prediction equation for BIA. Correlation coeffient between predicted value and reference value was 0.978 and SEE was 2.43kg(p<0.05). It means that the developed system has not significant differences with existing method. In conclusion bioelectrical impedance analyzer and the FFM prediction equation developed in this paper are evaluated to he adequate to compute FFM of Korean.

In this study, we implement the multiple frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis system for body composition analysis. Overall system consists of : 1) conductivity electrodes to contact with hands and foots, 2) multiple frequency alternating current signal generator for generating 5, 50, 250kHz frequency and 800uA contained alternating current signal, 3) voltage signal detector, 4) phase signal detector, 5) key-pad to input individual information, 6) micro controller for data processing, 7) LCD for processed data to display, 8) system power, We explain the architecture of the system and required theory to implement the system. Finally, experimental results are illustrated to show the performance of the system.

본 연구에서는 피부전기반사를 이용하여 각성도를 측정하기 위한 측정 시스템을 구성하고 이를 이용하여 피부 전기활동의 변화가 뇌파를 동시에 측정하여 각성수준의 변화에 따른 세 측정 요소간의 상관관계를 검토하고 측정에 따른 문제점들을 분석하여 각성도 측정 및 평가와 모니터 개발 을 위한 기초적인 연구를 하였다. 분석 결과 기존의 피부임피던스 만을 이용한 수면상태 판정은 불완전하며 피부임피던스 반사도 포함하면 더욱 정확한 판정을 할 수 있슴을 밝혔다.
