Abstract
In this paper we verify if ECG electrodes are adequate for the bioimpedance measurement. A square wave signal (U=1V, f=5, 500, 5000 Hz) is applied to a calibrated resistance R=10 kΩ, in series with two identical ECG electrodes glued together by their adhesive part. Using an appropiate model, we find from the data a series resistance with one or more groups of a parallel resistance Ri with a capacitor Ci (i=1, 2, 3).
