Abstract

As an important means in electrical impedance tomography (EIT), multi-frequency phase-sensitive demodulation (PSD) can be viewed as a matched filter for measurement signals and as an optimal linear filter in the case of Gaussian-type noise. However, the additive noise usually possesses impulsive noise characteristics, so it is a challenging task to reduce the impulsive noise in multi-frequency PSD effectively. In this paper, an approach for impulsive noise reduction in multi-frequency PSD of EIT is presented. Instead of linear filters, a singular value decomposition filter is employed as the pre-stage filtering module prior to PSD, which has advantages of zero phase shift, little distortion, and a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in digital signal processing. Simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can effectively eliminate the influence of impulsive noise in multi-frequency PSD, and it was capable of achieving a higher SNR and smaller demodulation error.
