ABSTRACT:
An analyzer determines the amount of body fat on a patient by using a measurement of body impedence is based upon the nature of the conduction of an applied electrical current in the human body. The analyzer has a constant current source circuit for inducing a high frequency low-voltage signal in the body, and magnitude and phase detection circuits for measuring the magnitude and phase shift of the induced signal.
