“…For the 8-electrode ECT, M = 28, the rows are sorted along the sequence as listed in Table 1. Such a sensitivity matrix can be either experimentally measured (Williams & Beck, 1995) or calculated from a numerical model (Reinecke & Mewes, 1996) by simulating the inter-electrode capacitance values when there is a unit permittivity change in each of the pixels. Due to the limitation of signal-to-noise ratio in the practical capacitance measurement circuitry, the number of electrodes, N, is generally not greater than 16, to ensure a sufficient surface area for each electrode.…”
