Innovative RF Design Unites Benefits of Multiplexed and Multi-Channel System

The main advantages of the implemented innovative RF design are reproducibility, accuracy, low measurement uncertainty, and compact design. They were achieved by implementing the direct RF sampling and the completely new, patent pending technological approach of quasi‐crossbar multiplexing and associated measurement method. The innovative quasi‐crossbar switch matrix unites the benefits of both the multi‐channel and the multiplexed system and at the same time compensates the disadvantages of the two. We achieve reproducibility and good “beam vs. current” dependence, which are multiplexed system characteristics and, using a multi‐channel approach, we ensure a broader band of operation.
