Multiplexing and De-multiplexing
Techniques
Multiplexing and de-multiplexing
• Multiplexing is the process of transmission of
information from more than one source into a single
signal over a shared medium.
• We can be able to multiplex analog or digital signal. If
analog signals are multiplexed, then this type of
multiplexer
is called analog multiplexer.
Multiplexing and de-multiplexing
• If digital signals are multiplexed, then this type of
multiplexer is called digital multiplexer.
• The advantage of multiplexing is that we
can transmit a large number of signals to a single
medium.
• This channel can be a physical medium like a
coaxial, metallic conductor or a wireless link and
will have to handle multiple signals at a time.
• Thus the cost of transmission can be reduced.
• In general multiplexing is a technique in which several
message signals are combined into a composite
signal so that these can be transmitted over a
common channel.
• In order to transmit various signals over the same
channel, it is essential to keep the signals apart to
avoid the interference between them, and then it can
be easily separated at the receiving end.
• Multiplexing is done using a device called
Multiplexer (MUX) that combine n input lines
to generate one output line i.e. (many to one).
• At the receiving end a device called
DE multiplexer (DEMUX) is used that separate
signal into its component signals i.e. one input
and several outputs (one to many).
Types multiplexing
Frequency division multiplexing
• It is an analog technique.
• Signals of different frequencies are combined
into a composite signal and is transmitted on
the single link.
• Bandwidth of a link should be greater than the
combined bandwidths of the various channels.
• Each signal is having different frequency.
• Channels are separated by the strips of unused
bandwidth called Guard Bands (to prevent
overlapping).
Applications of FDM
• Synchronous TDM
• Each device is given same Time Slot to transmit the data over
the link, whether the device has any data to transmit or not.
• Each device places its data onto the link when its Time Slot
arrives, each device is given the possession of line turn by
turn.
