Multiplexing: Types and Uses

Bigtiger671

There are three types of multiplexing: space, time, and frequency.

The three types of multiplexing are:

Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM)
Frequency-Division Multiplexing (FDM)
Statistical Multiplexing (SM)

Time-division multiplexing is a type of multiplexing where data from multiple sources is interleaved in time so that each source gets a continuous time slot. This type of multiplexing is used in digital systems such as computer networks and telephone systems.

Frequency-division multiplexing is a type of multiplexing where data from multiple sources is transmitted on different frequencies. This type of multiplexing is used in analog systems such as radio and television.

Statistical multiplexing is a type of multiplexing where data from multiple sources is allocated time slots based on statistics such as the source's traffic rate. This type of multiplexing is used in computer networks and telephone systems.

3 types of multiplexing are:

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
Statistical Time Division Multiplexing (STDM)

FDM is the most common type of multiplexing. It is used in radio and telephone systems. In FDM, signals are combined by sending them on different frequencies.

TDM is used in digital systems such as computer networks. In TDM, signals are combined by sending them in different time slots.

STDM is a variation of TDM. In STDM, the time slots are of different lengths. This allows for more efficient use of the available bandwidth.
