CHAPTER 10 Multiplexing and Demultiplexing

This chapter discusses multiplexing and demultiplexing. Multiplexing allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single medium such as a cable or radio link. This makes connectivity more practical and cost-effective. There are different types of multiplexing including frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) and time-division multiplexing (TDM). FDM allocates a portion of the bandwidth to each input signal, while TDM uses the entire bandwidth but allocates a time slot to each channel. Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a common form of TDM used to send digital data streams in serial form by interleaving them. Duplexing handles two-way communication, with half duplex alternating transmission and full duplex

CHAPTER 10

Multiplexing and Demultiplexing

When a cable is attached or a radio transmitter and receiver are installed

between two points, a communication line, or connection, is created. When there is only

one connection, only one purpose can be executed at a time, whether it is signal

propagation or control operations. A half-duplex method is used for two-way

communication: both ends of the communication link will transmit and receive data at

the same time, but not simultaneously. Running several cables or setting up one

transmitter/receiver pair for each channel may be used to relay two or more signals

simultaneously, although this is a costly process. In practice, multiplexing allows

hundreds or even thousands of signals to be mixed and broadcast over a single

medium, allowing a single cable or radio link to carry multiple signals at the same time.

Multiplexing has made simultaneous connectivity more practical and cost-effective, as

well as helping to save spectrum space and allowing the implementation of modern,

advanced technologies.

Multiplexing is the method of sending two or more individual signals over the

same cable or wireless link at the same time. In telemetry, responsive transducers track

the physical characteristics of a given application and produce electric signals that
change in response to changes in the state of the different physical characteristics. A

multiplexer is an electrical circuit that allows for multiplexing.

Multiple signals share the bandwidth of a typical transmission channel in

frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). Within a specific frequency band, the carrier

frequencies are normally evenly spaced from one another. Subcarriers are the name for

these airlines. A part of the bandwidth is allocated to each input signal. Multiple signals

are sent over a single channel in FDM, with each signal receiving a portion of the

spectrum within the bandwidth. Each signal in time-division multiplexing (TDM) uses the

entire bandwidth of the link.

Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is the most common kind of TDM, in which several

channels of digital data are sent in serial form. A time slot is allocated to each channel

for transmitting one binary word of data. The data streams from the different sources

are interleaved and sent in order.

Duplexing is the process of handling two-way messages. Half duplexing refers to

the fact that the two stations communicating alternate sending and receiving. Half

duplexing is used in mobile, naval, and aircraft radios. Full duplexing refers to the ability

of all stations to transmit and receive data at the same time. In phone calls, full duplex is

unquestionably favored. However, not all programs necessitate the opportunity to

transmit and retrieve data at the same time.
