    Multiplexing is a process that combines multiple signals into one signal over a shared medium. There are two main types: analog multiplexing, which combines analog signals, and digital multiplexing, which combines digital signals. The most common analog multiplexing techniques are frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), while the most common digital multiplexing technique is time division multiplexing (TDM). TDM divides a signal into time slots and allocates one slot per message, and can be synchronous, with a common clock, or asynchronous without a common clock.

    What are the types of multiplexing? Provide explanations and


    figures.
    Multiplexing is the process of combining multiple signals into one
    signal, over a shared medium. If the analog signals are multiplexed, then it
    is called as analog multiplexing. Similarly, if the digital signals are
    multiplexed, then it is called as digital multiplexing.
    Multiplexing was first developed in telephony. A number of signals were
    combined to send through a single cable. The process of multiplexing
    divides a communication channel into several number of logical channels,
    allotting each one for a different message signal or a data stream to be
    transferred. The device that does multiplexing can be called
    as Multiplexer or MUX.
    The reverse process, i.e., extracting the number of channels from one,
    which is done at the receiver is called as de-multiplexing. The device that
    does de-multiplexing can be called as de-multiplexer or DEMUX.
    Analog Multiplexing
    The signals used in analog multiplexing techniques are analog in nature.
    The analog signals are multiplexed according to their frequency (FDM)
    or wavelength (WDM).

    Frequency Division Multiplexing


    In analog multiplexing, the most used technique is Frequency Division
    Multiplexing (FDM). This technique uses various frequencies to
    combine streams of data, for sending them on a communication medium,
    as a single signal.
    Example − A traditional television transmitter, which sends a number of
    channels through a single cable uses FDM.

    Wavelength Division Multiplexing


    Wavelength Division multiplexing (WDM) is an analog technique, in
    which many data streams of different wavelengths are transmitted in the
    light spectrum. If the wavelength increases, the frequency of the signal
    decreases. A prism, which can turn different wavelengths into a single
    line, can be used at the output of MUX and input of DEMUX.
    Example − Optical fiber communications use WDM technique, to merge
    different wavelengths into a single light for communication.
    Digital Multiplexing

    The term digital represents the discrete bits of information. Hence, the
    available data is in the form of frames or packets, which are discrete.

    Time Division Multiplexing

    In Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), the time frame is divided into


    slots. This technique is used to transmit a signal over a single
    communication channel, by allotting one slot for each message.
    Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) can be classified into Synchronous
    TDM and Asynchronous TDM.

    Synchronous TDM

    In Synchronous TDM, the input is connected to a frame. If there are ‘n’


    number of connections, then the frame is divided into ‘n’ time slots.
    One slot is allocated for each input line.
    In this technique, the sampling rate is common for all signals and hence
    the same clock input is given. The MUX allocates the same slot to each
    device at all times.

    Asynchronous TDM

    In Asynchronous TDM, the sampling rate is different for each of the


    signals and a common clock is not required. If the allotted device for a
    time slot transmits nothing and sits idle, then that slot can be allotted to
    another device, unlike synchronous
    This type of TDM is used in Asynchronous transfer mode networks.
