In order to assess the performances of TESs to be used with FDM, it is thus of great interest to compare the performances of the same device both under AC and DC bias.

We are developing X-ray microcalorimeters as a backup option for the baseline detectors in the X-IFU instrument on board the ATHENA space mission led by ESA and to be launched in the early 2030s. 5$\times$5 mixed arrays with TiAu transition-edge sensor (TES), which have different high aspect ratios and thus high resistances, have been designed and fabricated to meet the energy resolution requirement of the X-IFU instrument.

Complex impedance measurement of a TES is the only technique that can give all this information at once, but it has been established only for a single pixel under DC bias.
