abstract = {Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a promising method
to characterize important hydrological properties of soil,
sediments, and rocks. The characterization is based on the
analysis of the phase response of the complex electrical
conductivity in a broad frequency range (i.e. mHz to kHz).
However, it is challenging to measure the small phase
response of low-polarizable soils and rocks in the higher
frequency range up to 10 kHz. In order to achieve the
required phase accuracy in the kHz frequency range, an
optimized measurement system and advanced model-based
processing methods have been developed. Recently, EIT
measurements at sites with low electrical conductivity have
shown a new dominating phase error related to capacitive
leakage currents between cable shields and soil. In order to
correct this phase error, we developed an advanced finite
element model that considers both leakage currents and
capacitive coupling between the soil and the cable shields
in the reconstruction of the complex electrical conductivity
distribution. This advanced model also takes into account
potential measurement errors due to high electrode
impedances. The use of this advanced model reduced the new
dominating error for media with low electrical conductivity.
It was also found that the amount of leakage current is an
additional indicator for data quality that can be used for
data filtering. After application of a novel data filter
based on the leakage current and the use of the advanced
modelling approach, the phase error of the measured transfer
impedances above 100 Hz was significantly reduced by a
factor of 6 or more at 10 kHz. In addition, physically
implausible positive phase values were effectively
eliminated. The new correction method now enables the
reconstruction of the complex electrical conductivity for
frequencies up to 10 kHz at field sites with a low
electrical conductivity.},
