abstract = {Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is gaining importance
in the field of geophysics and there is increasing interest
for accurate borehole EIT measurements in a broad frequency
range (mHz to kHz) in order to study subsurface properties.
To characterize weakly polarizable soils and sediments with
EIT, high phase accuracy is required. Typically, long
electrode cables are used for borehole measurements.
However, this may lead to undesired electromagnetic coupling
effects associated with inductive coupling between the
double wire pairs for current injection and potential
measurement and capacitive coupling between the electrically
conductive shield of the cable and the electrically
conductive environment surrounding the electrode cables.
Depending on the electrical properties of the subsurface and
the measured transfer impedances, both coupling effects can
cause large phase errors that have typically limited the
frequency bandwidth of field EIT measurements to the mHz to
Hz range. The aim of this paper is to develop numerical
corrections for these phase errors. To this end, the
inductive coupling effect was modeled using electronic
circuit models and the capacitive coupling effect was
modeled by integrating discrete capacitances in the
electrical forward model describing the EIT measurement
process. The correction methods were successfully verified
with measurements under controlled conditions in a
water-filled rain barrel, where a high phase accuracy of 0.8
mrad in the frequency range up to 10 kHz was achieved. The
corrections were also applied to field EIT measurements made
using a 25 m long EIT borehole chain with 8 electrodes and
an electrode separation of 1 m. The results of a 1D
inversion of these measurements showed that the correction
methods increased the measurement accuracy considerably. It
was concluded that the proposed correction methods enlarge
the bandwidth of the field EIT measurement system, and that
accurate EIT measurements can now be made in the mHz to kHz
frequency range. This increased accuracy in the kHz range
will allow a more accurate field characterization of the
complex electrical conductivity of soils and sediments,
which may lead to improved estimation of saturated hydraulic
conductivity from electrical properties. Although the
correction methods have been developed for a custom-made EIT
system, they also have potential to improve to the phase
accuracy of EIT measurements made with commercial systems
relying on multicore cables.},
