Abstract
It is provided a system for determining characteristics of an object or a sample comprising at least a first and a second transmitter unit, wherein the first transmitter unit is configured for transmitting first electromagnetic waves towards the object and the second transmitter unit is configured for transmitting second electromagnetic waves towards the object; at least one receiver unit) for receiving electromagnetic waves from the object, the receiver unit generating a receiver signal upon receipt of the electromagnetic waves from the object. The first and the second transmitter unit is configured in such a way that the first and the second electromagnetic waves are modulated differently in such a way that by demodulating the receiver signal, a portion of the receiver signal evoked by the first electromagnetic waves can be separated from a portion of the receiver signal evoked by the second electromagnetic waves. The system comprises an evaluating unit.
