Concepts of Multiplexing
• Many input signals to one transmission media• Reduces the number of channels or conductors running from point A to point B• Added complexity in the muxing and demuxing control

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
Computer Control Engineering Technology, Electrical EngineeringTechnology, Electronics – Fox Valley Technical College
Each input signal uses a uniquecarrier frequency.
The different carrier frequenciesare spread across a given frequency spectrum.
The FDM signals can then betransmitted via RF or via somephysical media.
Spectrum of a Frequency Division Multiplexing System
• Bandwidth is divided into smaller channels• Examples: AM or FM radio, Television, Cable and Satellite TV

Each voice channelis allocated 4 Khz.
Each channelmodulates a uniquecarrier.
The carriers are allmultiplexed into alarger group.
Supports multiple communication channels through asingle media.
FDM Telephone Group
• 4 Khz per channel• 12 channels, 48 Khz bandwidth for the group• Different carrier frequencies for each channel• Multiple carriers in a group

Each group is recovered bya BPF.
The recovered group is fedthrough a LPF.
Each channel from the specificgroup is recovered by a BPF.
Time Division Multiplexing
• Each user / signal is allocated a certain amount of time• Equal time slots per user / signal• Signals can be grouped into frames or sets

Time Division Signal or Input Selection Concept
• One user / signal is routed to the output at a time for a fixed amount of time

4 Channel Time Division Multiplexing Example
• Assume there are 4 different analog signals• Each signal must be sampled and sent to a receiving location

Using Pulse Amplitude Modulation Time Division Multiplexing• Notice that at each time mark a different signal is sampled• The amplitude of the sampled signal is sent in this case, some other type of modulation scheme could be use• The receiving end must demux the signals and route them to the appropriate output

Analog Input / Pulse Amplitude Modulation – Transmissions
• Pulse amplitude modulation to FM to PM• PAM signal modulates a sub-carrier• The sub-carriers are summed and they modulate the phase of the carrier

Pulse Code Modulation Multiplexing
• PCM’s for each input are muxed • Resultant output bit stream must be clocked at a higher rate than the data bit rate to support high throughput• Note the use of a sync pulse to separate frames
