1. A sensor receiver comprising:
a Rydberg cell configured to be exposed to a radio frequency (RF) signal having an RF data rate;
a probe source configured to generate a plurality of spaced apart pulsed probe beams within the Rydberg cell, with each pulse having a temporal pulse width so that the RF data rate is greater than a reciprocal of the temporal pulse width;
at least one excitation source coupled to the Rydberg cell; and
a detector downstream from the Rydberg cell.
