MULTIPLEXING
o Two common form of multiplexing are Frequency Division
Multiplexing(FDM) and Time Division Multiplexing(TDM).
o Advantages:
n Increase number of channels so that more info can be transmitted
n Save cost by using one channel to send many info signals

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
o FDM – multiple sources that originally occupied the same frequency
spectrum are each converted to different frequency band and
transmitted simultaneously.
o FDM is an analog technique – the information entering an FDM
system must be analog. If the source is digital, it must be
converted to analog before being frequency-division multiplexed.
o Split the total channel bandwidth into several smaller channels of
different frequencies.
o Different signal travel over the medium concurrently.
o Guard bands keep the modulated signals from overlapping and
interfering with one another.
o Modulation is used to lift the centre freq of the baseband signal up
into a preassigned freq slot.
