9) As we can see that source A, B and C wants to transmit data through a common
medium.
10) Thus, the signal from the 3 sources, is divided into multiple frames each having their
fixed timeslot.
11) Here,3unitsfromeachsourcearetakenintoconsideration,thatjointlyformtheactual signal.
12) A frame is transmitted at a time that is composed of one unit of eachsource.
13) As these units are entirely different from each other thus the chances of unnecessary
signal mixing can beeliminated.
14) When a frame gets transmitted over the particular time slot, the next frame uses the
samechanneltogettransmittedandtheprocessisfurtherrepeateduntilthecompletion of
thetransmission.
15) Here, we have taken the example of 3 different sources, but one can perform
multiplexing of ‘n’sourcesignals.
16) Itisnoteworthyherethatunitsofasinglesourcemustbeequivalenttothetotalnumber of
source signals to betransmitted.
17) Both analog and digital signals can be multiplexed using time division multiplexing,
but its processing technique allows the multiplexing of digital signals conveniently
rather than analogone.
18) The technique efficiently utilizes the complete channel for data transmission hence
sometimes known asPAM/TDM.

24) Suppose we have ‘n’ data inputs, then one after the other, according to the rotation,
these data inputs after getting multiplexed transmitted over the commonchannel.
25) Now, at the receiver end, a de-commutator is placed that is synchronized with the
commutator at the transmitting end. This de-commutator separates the time division
multiplexed signal at the receivingend.
26) The commutator and de-commutator must have same rotational speed so as to have
accurate demultiplexing of the signal at the receiving end.
27) According to the rotation performed by the de-commutator, the samples are collected
by the LPF and the original data input is recovered at the receive.
