multiplexiertes

Multiplexiertes refers to the process of combining multiple signals or data streams into a single, composite signal. This allows for the efficient transmission of information over a shared communication channel, such as a cable or radio frequency. The original signals are then separated or demultiplexed at the receiving end to recover the individual streams.

There are several common methods of multiplexing. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) assigns specific time slots to each signal, allowing them to transmit sequentially. Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) divides the available bandwidth into distinct frequency bands, with each signal occupying its own band. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a variation of FDM used in optical fiber communications, where different data streams are transmitted using different wavelengths of light. Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) uses unique codes to differentiate signals that share the same frequency and time.

Multiplexing is a fundamental technique in modern communication systems, enabling the increased capacity and efficiency of networks. It is widely used in telecommunications, broadcasting, and data networking. By combining multiple signals, multiplexing reduces the need for dedicated physical lines or channels, leading to cost savings and improved resource utilization. The process of demultiplexing is crucial for reassembling the original, separate signals at the destination.
