  • Abstract
    A system is introduced for the acquisition of analog or digital data from a large number of remote sensors and its transmission and collection at a central processing facility. The system features buffering or impedance matching of the signal source, fundamental noise immunity to radiated and ground noise, integral power supplied along the signal lines, as well as fundamental ease of signal switching.
