Time Division Multiplexing (Transmitter, Receiver, Commutator)

TDM is a technique that transmits multiple message signals over a single communication channel by dividing the time frame into time slots, with one slot for each message signal. There are two types of TDM: synchronous TDM where all signals have the same sampling rate, and asynchronous TDM where signals can have different sampling rates. Problems 1-4 provide examples of calculating sampling rates, frequency contents, commutator arrangements, and transmission bandwidths for systems using TDM to multiplex different numbers of signals with varying bandwidths. Problem 5 asks to compare the transmission bandwidth requirements of synchronous versus asynchronous TDM when multiplexing eight signals with differing bandwidths.

Types of TDM:
– Synchronous TDM
– Asynchronous TDM
Synchronous TDM
1. Same Sampling rate for all signals.
2. Minimum Sampling rate = twice the
maximum frequency of all the signals.
3. Total number of samples transmitted per
second is equal to N times the sampling
rate, Fs plus sync pulses.
4. Transmission Bandwidth = N. Fs/2
Asynchronous TDM
1. Different Sampling rate for different.
signals.
2. Sampling rate of a signal = twice the
maximum frequency of that signal.
3. Total number of samples transmitted per
second is equal to Sum of samples of all
the signals plus sync pulses.
Asynchronous TDM
4. Transmission Bandwidth = Half the total
number of samples transmitted.
5. Bandwidth is less for Asynchronous TDM.
6. Design of Commutator / Decommutator is
difficult.
Problem-1
Two low-pass signals of equal bandwidth
are sampled and time division multiplexed
using PAM. The TDM signal is passed
through a Low-pass filter & then
transmitted over a channel with a
bandwidth of 10KHz.

a) What is maximum Sampling rate for each


Channel?
b) What is the maximum frequency content
allowable for each signal?
Problem –1 : Solution
Channel Bandwidth = 10 KHz.
Number of samples that can be transmitted
through the channel = 20K
Maximum Sampling rate for each channel =
10K Samples/sec.
Maximum Frequency for each Signal = 5KHz

Two signals g1(t) and g2(t) are to transmitted


over a common channel by means of
TDM. The highest frequency of g1(t) is
1KHz and that of g2(t) is 1.3KHz. What
is the permissible sampling rate?
Ans: 2.6K samples/sec and above.

Q. 24 voice signals are sampled uniformly and
then time division multiplexed . The
sampling operation uses the flat-top samples
with 1microsec duration. The multiplexing
operation includes provision for
Synchronization by adding an extra pulse of
sufficient amplitude and also 1micro second.

Contd..
Assuming a sampling rate of 8KHz,
calculate the spacing between
successive pulses of the multiplexed
signal.
Problem-3: Solution
In One frame, Total number of pulses = 25.
Time duration for one time frame =
Ts = 125µ
seconds.
Time duration utilized by pulses = 25 µ sec
Time spacing between successive pulses
= (125- 25)/25 = 4µ sec.
