Abstract

We are developing code-division multiplexing (CDM) readout systems for TES arrays for good scalability to large multiplexing factors. We report high energy resolution x-ray measurements made through four-channel CDM that employ a flux-summing architecture, emphasizing data analysis issues. We describe an empirical method to determine the demodulation matrix to minimize cross-talk. All resolutions are estimated with a full maximum-likelihood fit to energy histogram,avoiding the bias towards good resolution that arises in simpler chi-squared fits. The present CDM system has achieved energy resolutions of between 2.3 and 3.0 eV FWHM at 6 keV.
