Introduction:
Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting and
receiving independent signals over a common signal path by means of
synchronized switches at each end of the transmission line so that each
signal appears on the line only a fraction of time in an alternating
pattern. It can be used when the bit rate of the transmission medium
exceeds that of the signal to be transmitted. This form of signal
multiplexing was developed in telecommunications for telegraphy systems
in the late 19th century, but found its most common application in digital
telephony in the second half of the 20th century.
Time-division multiplexing is used primarily for digital signals, but may
be applied in analog multiplexing in which two or more signals or bit
streams are transferred appearing simultaneously as sub-channels in one
communication channel, but are physically taking turns on the channel.[4]
The time domain is divided into several recurrent time slots of fixed
length, one for each sub-channel. A sample byte or data block of sub-
channel 1 is transmitted during time slot 1, sub-channel 2 during time slot
2, etc. One TDM frame consists of one time slot per sub-channel plus a
synchronization channel and sometimes error correction channel before
the synchronization. After the last sub-channel, error correction, and
synchronization, the cycle starts all over again with a new frame, starting
with the second sample, byte or data block from sub-channel 1
PCM
Introduction:
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent sampled analog signals. It
is the standard form of digital audio in computers, compact discs, digital telephony and other
digital audio applications. In a PCM stream, the amplitude of the analog signal is sampled at
uniform intervals, and each sample is quantized to the nearest value within a range of digital
steps.
Linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) is a specific type of PCM in which the quantization levels
are linearly uniform.[5] This is in contrast to PCM encodings in which quantization levels vary as
a function of amplitude (as with the A-law algorithm or the μ-law algorithm). Though PCM is a
more general term, it is often used to describe data encoded as LPCM.
A PCM stream has two basic properties that determine the stream's fidelity to the original
analog signal: the sampling rate, which is the number of times per second that samples are
taken; and the bit depth, which determines the number of possible digital values that can be
used to represent each sample.
