Abstract

Impedance spectroscopy can be used to collect data for various systems, including electronic languages that have been studied in Group of Polymer Bernhard Gross of the Institute of Physics of São Carlos. Currently, the equipment to perform impedance measurements is large, with restricted portability, making it difficult applications requiring use outside the laboratory. In this project, we intend to use chips and microprocessors to miniaturization of the measuring equipment impedance. The device must be capable of providing the alternating voltage necessary for the ( ) sensor (s ) perform (m) measures, receive answers that (s) sensor (s), map data and communicate with some apparatus for viewing and detailed analysis of data. The goal is this miniaturized system is integrated with other parts of the tongue.
