FDM

  • FDM stand for Frequency Division Multiplexing Technique.
  • In FDM, different frequencies will be combined as the one frequency and transmitted in the channel and at the receiver end again it will be separated as it was.
  • It is totally based upon the frequency combining and division

Working of FDM

Illustration: Working of FDM

WDM

  • WDM stands for wavelength Division Multiplexing Technique.
  • It multiplexes the optical carrier signals into a single optical fibre signal and transmit it further to the channel.
  • It is widely used in SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) with high efficiency.
  • Illustration: WDM
    The best example of WDM is prism through which lights gets scattered into multiple colours.

Working of WDM

TDM

  • It stands for Time Division Multiplexing Technique of Multiplexing.
  • Each frame or packet of data will be allotted the time slot.
  • It transmits the digital signals over the transmission network.
  • It is used for high speed transmission
  • It can be of two types:
  • Synchronous TDM (with common clock signal sharing)
  • Asynchronous TDM (without sharing common clock)
