1.

Twenty voice signals are to be multiplexed and

transmitted over twisted pair copper wire. Assuming 4
kHz per voice signal, what is the bandwidth required
for frequency-division multiplexing (FDM)?

2.

A character-interleaved time-division multiplexer is

used to combine the data streams of a number of 110-bps
asynchronous terminals for data transmission over a
2400-bps digital line. Each terminal sends asynchronous
characters consisting of 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1
start bit, and 2 stop bits. Assume that one
synchronization character is sent every 19 data
characters and, in addition, at least 3% of the line
capacity is reserved for pulse stuffing to accommodate
speed variations from the various terminals.
1) Determine the number of bits per character.
2) Determine the number of terminals that can be
accommodated by the multiplexer.

3.

Find the number of 1200-bps computer terminals that

could be accommodated by a TDM line if 1% of the line
capacity is reserved for synchronization purposes.
Assume the capacity of the line is 1.544 Mbps:

4.

Five signal sources are multiplexed using TDM. Each

source produces 200 characters per second. Assume that
there is byte interleaving and that each frame requires
1 bit for synchronization. What is the bit rate on the
link?

5.

Draw the TDM frames showing the character data, given

the following information:

The following figure shows a multiplexer. If the slot is

only 10 bits long (3 bits taken from each output plus 1
framing bit), what is the output bit stream?
