Description: This dissertation deals with the development of a tomography system, which uses a new electromagnetic tomography imaging technique. This system is based on the detection of conductive or ferrite materials, which has many potential industrial applications. Some stages of the system were developed previously, such as the detection and excitation coils, signal generator and signal conditioning boards.

In this dissertation the design of the excitation circuitry, which consists of 12 Voltage Controlled Current Sources (VCCS's) and the amplitude control circuit for each VCCS is described. The programming language C has been used to develop software to control frequency, channel and current selection for the excitation boards. These boards were tested and their frequency response was evaluated. A computer program was also written to assess the performance of the signal conditioning boards.

Finally, the complete system was implemented and tested. The system is ready now to be used as a research tool and/or to test image reconstruction algorithms.
