Multiplexing
• Various multiplexing methods are possible in terms of the channel bandwidth and time,
and the signal, in particular the frequency, phase or time. The two basic methods are:
FDM is derived from AM techniques in which the signals occupy the same physical
‘line’ but in different frequency bands. Each signal occupies its own specific band of
frequencies all the time, i.e. the messages share the channel bandwidth.
TDM is derived from sampling techniques in which messages occupy all the channel
bandwidth but for short time intervals of time, i.e. the messages share the channel time.

We have also noted that the message signal m(t) is usually band limited, i.e.
The Band Limiting Filter (BLF) is usually a band pass filter with a pass band 300Hz to
3400Hz for speech. This is to allow guard bands between adjacent channels.

For telephony, the physical line is divided (notionally) into 4kHz bands or channels, i.e.
the channel spacing is 4kHz. Thus we now have:
Guard Bands

Note, the BLF does not have an ideal cut-off – the guard bands allow for filter ‘roll off’
in order to reduce adjacent channel crosstalk.

Each carrier frequency, fc1, fc2 and fc3 are separated by the channel spacing

The spectrum of the FDM signal, M(t) will be:

Note that the baseband signals m1(t), m2(t), m3(t) have been multiplexed into adjacent
channels, the channel spacing is 4kHz. Note also that the SSB filters are set to select
the USB, tuned to f1, f2 and f3 respectively. A receiver FDM decoder is illustrated below:

• The SSB filters are the same as in the encoder, i.e. each one
centred on f1, f2 and f3 to select the appropriate sideband and reject
the others. These are then followed by a synchronous demodulator,
each fed with a synchronous LO, fc1, fc2 and fc3 respectively.
• For the 3 channel system shown there is 1 design for the BLF (used
3 times), 3 designs for the SSB filters (each used twice) and 1
design for the LPF (used 3 times).

60kHz
For ‘designs’ around say 60kHz, Q = 15 which is reasonable.
4 kHz
However, for designs to have a centre frequency at around say 10Mhz,
10,000kHz
Q gives a Q = 2500 which is difficult to achieve.
4 kHz
To overcome these problems, a hierarchical system for telephony used the FDM
principle to form groups, supergroups, master groups and supermaster groups.

The diagram below illustrates the FDM principle for 12 channels (similar to 3 channels)
to a form a basic group.

Super Group
5 basic groups multiplexed to form a super group, i.e. 60 channels in one super group.
Note – the channel spacing in the super group in the above is 48kHz, i.e. each carrier
frequency is separated by 48kHz. There are 12 designs (low frequency) for one basic
group and 5 designs for the super group.
612 kHz
The Q for the super group SSB filters is Q 12 - which is reasonable
48kHz
Hence, a total of 17 designs are required for 60 channels. In a similar way, super groups
may be multiplexed to form a master group, and master groups to form super master
groups…

TDM is widely used in digital communications, for example in the form of pulse code
modulation in digital telephony (TDM/PCM). In TDM, each message signal occupies
the channel (e.g. a transmission line) for a short period of time. The principle is
illustrated below:

4 SW1 SW2
m4(t) 4
m4(t)
5 Transmission
m5(t) 5
Line m5(t)
Switches SW1 and SW2 rotate in synchronism, and in effect sample each message
input in a sequence m1(t), m2(t), m3(t), m4(t), m5(t), m1(t), m2(t),…
The sampled value (usually in digital form) is transmitted and recovered at the ‘far end’
to produce output m1(t)…m5(t). 20

• In this illustration the samples are shown as levels, i.e. V1, V2 or V3.
Normally, these voltages would be converted to a binary code before
transmission as discussed below.
• Note that the channel is divided into time slots and in this example, 3
messages are time-division multiplexed on to the channel. The sampling
process requires that the message signals are a sampled at a rate fs 2B,
where fs is the sample rate, samples per second, and B is the maximum
frequency in the message signal, m(t) (i.e. Sampling Theorem applies). This
sampling process effectively produces a pulse train, which requires a
bandwidth much greater than B.
• Thus in TDM, the message signals occupy a wide bandwidth for short
intervals of time. In the illustration above, the signals are shown as PAM
(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) signals. In practice these are normally
converted to digital signals before time division multiplexing.

• Each sample value is converted to an n bit code by the ADC. Each n bit code ‘fits into’
the time slot for that particular message. In practice, the sample pulses for each
message input could be the same. The multiplexing ADC could pick each input
(i.e. a S/H signal) in turn for conversion.
• For an N channel system, i.e. N message signals, sampled at a rate fs samples per
second, with each sample converted to an n bit binary code, and assuming no
additional bits for synchronisation are required (in practice further bits are required) it is
easy to see that the output bit rate for the digital data sequence d(t) is

All the forms of the base band signalling shown transfer data at the same bit rate.
E denotes the duration of the shortest signalling element.
Baud rate is defined as the reciprocal of the duration of the shortest signalling element.

If we pass this signal through a LPF then the maximum bandwidth would be 1/T
Hz, i.e. to just allow the fundamental (1st harmonic) to pass.
