Frequency division multiplexing is the position of signal spectra in frequency such that each signal spectrum can be separated out from all the others by filtering. FDM does not preclude the use of other modulating methods. There are N signals in frequency, each is bandlimited to fm Hz. In order to separate N signals in frequency, each is modulated with a carrier frequency fC1 , fC2 , , fCN. Using DSB-LC, the spectral density of every modulated signal has a bandwidth of 2fm and each is centered at various carrier frequencies fC1, fC2,, fCN. These carrier frequencies are chosen far enough apart such that each signal spectral density is separated from all the others.

The first multiplexing step combines 12 voice inputs into a basic group
The supergroup occupies the frequency band 312 ~ 552 KHz. A supergroup is designed to accommodate 60 independent voice inputs.
