Code Division Multiplexing (CDM)

StarStarStarStar

Definition: A form of multiplexing where various data signals are assigned unique codes so they can occupy the same transmission channel at the same time. Primary use: Used in various radio communication technologies, including cellular networks like 3G and in GPS technology.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

StarStarStarStar

Definition: A type of digital multiplexing where a single data stream is divided into several parallel data streams, each of which modulates a separate carrier frequency that is orthogonal to one another. Primary use: Widely used in broadband internet communications, digital television, and audio broadcasting, such as in DAB, DVB, and WLANs.

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

StarStarStarStar

Definition: A type of analog multiplexing where the total bandwidth available is divided into non-overlapping frequency bands, each carrying a separate signal. Primary use: Traditionally used in radio broadcasting, cable television, and telephone systems to transmit multiple signals simultaneously.

StarStarStarStar

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)

StarStarStarStar

Definition: A multiplexing technique where several optical carrier signals are transmitted through a single optical fiber by varying the light wavelengths (colors). Primary use: Primarily used in fiber-optic communications to increase bandwidth over long distances.

StarStarStarStar

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

StarStarStarStar

Definition: A type of digital multiplexing where multiple data streams are combined into one signal by assigning each stream a different time slot in a set. Primary use: Used to transmit multiple digital signals over a single transmission path like fiber optic cables or metal wires.
