Ab bstract. In thiss paper we prresented a new w approach forr parrameter estimaation of Frickke-Morse modeel (2R-1C circuiit) of biologicaal cell. Proposeed method is baased on Differenttial Impedancee Analysis andd it was applieed in parameterr esttimation of five electrical bioimpedancess: Total Bodyy Coomposition, Truunk-Trunk, Arrm-Arm, Leg-L Leg and Respirattion Rate. Thee proposed meethod has beenn evaluated regarrding the influuence of the number n of meeasurement frequencies on the overall numerical accuracy and a processingg tim me. Obtained results r are coompared with Complex Nonn Linnear Least Squuares data fittting and it waas showed thaat preesented approaach is signifiicantly faster (ratio of processsing times deepends on the number n of meeasurement frequencies). Additiional advantagge of the propoosed method iss verry low compuutation complexxity (it is not iterative) so it i cann be easily impplemented in portable and auttonomous lowcosst microcontroller-based systtems for bioim mpedance measureement and paarameter estim mation of the Fricke-Morsee moodel in real-tim me.

In literrature, many stuudies can be foound in which parameter estimaation of Fricke-Morse model was used as diagnosis d tool. For example, exaamination of dielectric d propeerties of meat [3], in vivo humaan lung tissue bioimpedance analysis b [4], in viivo real-time myocardium tissue t characteerization [5], body y water estimaation [6], etc. Basically, if there is some chaange in tissuee from normall condition, vaalues of model paarameters will change from values obtaineed when tissue was in normal conndition.

Howev ver, some studdies suggest use u of more complex c models which w include fractional-ordeer circuits [7] as they shown much m better reepresentation of o experimentaally obtained biioimpedance data. d Complexx models havve been widely in nvestigated in many m fields off biology and biomedib cine [8, 9], 9 but they doo not provide explanations e reelated to the underrlying structurees and physicaal processes at the cellular leveel [10], thus Frricke-Morse model m is used by b many authors [1 11]. Moreover, parameter esttimation of succh models is usu ually based on complex noon-linear leastt-squares (CNLS) method, baseed on the Gaauss–Newton [12] or Levenberg rg–Marquardt [13] algorithm ms. The mainn disadvantages of such approaach are [6, 13, 14]: (a) CNLS S is time consumin ng process, (b)) CNLS requirres high qualitty initial guess for the model parrameters, (c) thhere is always a possibility of converging c intto a local miniimums, and (dd) CNLS non-conv vergence is a coommon issue. The diffferential impeedance analysis (DIA) is a teechnique which can
