Multiplexing is a set of techniques that allows the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals across a single data link by allocating different carrier frequencies to each signal when the bandwidth of the medium is greater than the bandwidth needs of the devices. Frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is an analog multiplexing technique where each signal is modulated to a different carrier frequency with guard bands between frequencies so signals do not overlap. Examples of FDM applications include AM/FM radio broadcasting and television broadcasting.

linking two devices is greater than tha bandwidth needs of the devices, the link can be shared
Multiplexing is the set of techniques that
allows the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals across a single data link. • In a multiplexed system n lines share the bandwidth of one link as shown in figure. Categories of Multiplexing: Frequency Division Multiplexing • FDM is an analogue technique
• Useful bandwidth of medium exceeds required
bandwidth of channel
• Each signal is modulated to a different carrier
frequency
• Carrier frequencies separated so signals do not
overlap (guard bands)
• e.g. broadcast radio
• Channel allocated even if no data
Example: • • Multiplexing Process: • As FDM is an anlog process, and we show it here using telephones as the input devices. • Each telephone generates a signal of a similar frequency range. Inside the multiplexer, these similar signals are modulated onto different carrier frequencies(f1,f2 and f3). • The resulting modulated signals are the combined into a single composite signal that is sent out over a media link that has enough bandwidth to accommdate it. Demultiplexing Process: • • The demultiplexer uses a series of filters to decompose the multiplxed signals into its constituent component signals. • • The individual signals are then passed to a demodulator that seprates them from their carriers and passes them to the waiting receivers. Applications Of FDM: • A very common application of FDM is AM and FM radio broadcasting. Radio uses air as the transmission medium. Each AM ststion needs 10KHz of bandwidth. Each station uses a different carrier frequency, which means it is shifting its signal and multiplexing. A signal which goes to the air is a combination of all the signals. A receiver receives all these signals, but filters(by tuning) only the one which is desired. Without multiplexing only one AM station could be broadcast to the common link, the air. • • Another common use of FDM is in television broadcasting. Each TV channel has its own Bandwidth of 6MHz
