Introduction to Multiplexing:

Multiplexing is a technique used to combine multiple signals or data streams into one single
signal over a shared medium. This allows the efficient use of resources, such as bandwidth
or communication channels, by transmitting multiple signals at the same time without
interference.

Categories of Multiplexing:

1. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM): In this method, time slots are allocated to each
signal, and each signal is transmitted in a predefined order. The signals are
transmitted in rapid succession, sharing the same channel.
2. Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): Here, the available bandwidth is divided
into multiple frequency bands, with each signal being transmitted on its unique
frequency band.
3. Code Division Multiplexing (CDM): Each signal is assigned a unique code,
allowing them to be transmitted simultaneously over the same frequency band, with
each signal being decoded using its code.

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM):

FDM is a type of multiplexing where the total bandwidth of a communication channel is


divided into smaller frequency bands, and each signal is transmitted on a different band. It is
commonly used in radio, television broadcasting, and telephone systems.

Example: In FM radio, different stations are broadcast on distinct frequencies (e.g., 88.1
MHz, 88.3 MHz), allowing multiple radio stations to transmit simultaneously.

Multiplexing Process:

● Multiple input signals are combined together into one composite signal.
● Each signal is assigned a specific time slot (TDM), frequency band (FDM), or code
(CDM).
● The composite signal is transmitted over the communication medium to the receiver.

De-multiplexing Process:

● At the receiving end, the composite signal is separated into its individual signals
based on the assigned time slot, frequency band, or code.
● The signals are then delivered to their respective destinations for further processing.

Examples:

1. Telecommunication: In telephone systems, FDM allows multiple calls to be carried


over a single transmission line.
2. Radio Broadcasting: FDM enables multiple radio stations to broadcast on different
frequencies, allowing listeners to choose among them.
3. Satellite Communication: Both FDM and TDM are used in satellite links to send
multiple channels of data.
