Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006111877A1] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for inductively measuring the bio-impedance of a user' s body. In order to provide a reliable method and apparatus for inductively measuring the bio-impedance of a user's body (14) it is suggested to use the capacitor (5) of the measuring circuit as a resonant capacitive shield for electrically shielding the sensor inductor (2) of the circuit. Therewith the number of structural components is reduced. Thus also the number of possible failures is reduced, leading to a very reliable technique for measuring of bio-impedance.
