Principles of Multiplexing and
Demultiplexing
1 Combining Signals
Multiplexers aggregate multiple input signals into a single output signal, often
using techniques like time-division, frequency-division, or code-division
multiplexing.

2 Separating Signals
Demultiplexers receive the combined signal and route it to the appropriate
output channel, enabling the original data to be recovered.

3 Synchronization
Precise timing and coordination between the multiplexer and demultiplexer
are crucial to ensure accurate data transmission and reception.
