It is desirable to calibrate electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) instrumentation using a Randles circuit. This presents a challenge as realistic loads, simulated by this circuit, contain theoretical components (Warburg elements) that are difficult to model. This thesis proposes a state-space solution to this problem and explores the process of realizing a digital high-accuracy approximation of a Randles circuit for the purposes of verifying and calibrating EIS instrumentation. Using Valsa, Dvořák, and Friedl's network approximation of a Warburg element, a collection of state-space relations describing the impedance of a Randles circuit are derived. From these equations the process of realizing a digital system is explored; this includes a discussion on methods of discretization, an overview of the challenges of realizing digital filters, and an analysis of the effects that finite word-length has on the accuracy of the model when using fixed-point hardware.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
