(GPS terminology)

GPS receiver that rotates a small number of channels to multiple satellites in order to provide current positioning data. Typically, multiplexing receivers require more time for satellite acquisition and lock on, and are not as accurate as parallel channel receivers. Multiplexing receivers are also more prone to lose satellite fix in dense woods compared to parallel channel GPS receivers.
