Abstract

A magnetic induction tomography (MIT) apparatus comprises an excitation signal generator (70) for generating an excitation signal; a primary excitation coil (50) arranged to receive the excitation signal from the excitation signal generator (70) and to convert the excitation signal into electromagnetic radiation and to emit said radiation to excite a sample having at least one of an electrical conductivity distribution, an electrical permittivity distribution or a magnetic permeability distribution; a primary receiver coil (60) arranged to receive electromagnetic radiation from the excited sample and to convert the received radiation into a detection signal; and a signal distribution network (115) arranged to receive the detection signal from the primary receiver coil (60). The apparatus further comprises a passive reference detector arranged to detect the excitation signal and to convert the detected signal into a passive reference signal. The apparatus further comprises an active reference signal generator (230) for generating an active reference signal; and an active reference source (175) arranged to receive the active reference signal from the active reference signal generator (230) and to supply the active reference signal to the signal distribution network (115).
