Disadvantage: Complex transmitters and receivers. They must be wide-band, which means they are more expensive and possibly less reliable.

  • Fewer wires or channels to transmit and receive data. A single fibre-optic cable can handle dozens of channels, instead of using 12 cables, you only use 1 .

What is the definition of the word 'multiplexing'?

Multiplexing is the process of combining multiple signals over one media line. There are several types of multiplexing: frequency division, time division, and wavelength division.


What is multiplexing why is multiplexing needed in electronics communication?

multiplexing refeers to the transmission of different signals in the same channel simultaneously. There are many forms of multiplexing that can be used, including frequency division multiplexing(FDM) where individual signals are transmitted over adjacent , non overlapping frequency bands. they are transmitted in parallel and simultaneously in time. In time division multiplexing(TDM) each signal is allowd to use the whole bandwidth for a certain period of time. Multiplexing is needed so that the available channel can be used efficiently and also to save costs. There is too much to know about multiplexing, here is just a short overview. One thing that one has to know is multiple access.


Name the various types of multiplexing techniques?

Multiplexing techniques vary widely based on what is being multiplexed. Modern telecommunications use a very wide array of techniques including: TDM - examples: TDMA, T-carrier FDM - examples: DWDM Spatial - example: MIMO Code division - examples: CDMA Phase or polarization division - cable/satellite TV Statistcal - examples: packet mode (STS), FHSS etc etc. This is far from a complete list. I think the question needs to be more specific.
