TDM in Analog Communications

Time division multiplexing (TDM) allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over the same channel by sampling and interleaving them so that the samples from each signal occupy different time positions and do not overlap. At the transmitter, the signals are sampled, interleaved by a commutator, and transmitted. At the receiver, the samples are de-interleaved and then filtered to retrieve the individual messages. TDM is used widely in telephony, telemetry, radio, and data systems and requires that the commutators at the transmitter and receiver be synchronized.

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

Time division multiplexing is an important communication system application of


the sampling principle. In this scheme, we transmit many signals simultaneously over the
same channel by sampling and interleaving them. The samples of each signal occupy
different time positions and hence do not overlap. A commutator is used for interleaving
the samples. If all the messages are of the same bandwidth, then sampling may be
performed at or above the Nyquist rate. If the messages are of different bandwidths, then
the sampling frequency is determined by the signal having the largest bandwidth. The
messages are first bandlimited by an antialiasing lowpass filter and sampled at rougjhly
1.1 times the Nyquist rate to avoid aliasing. The transmitter in a TDM system is shown in

Fig 1. The sampled signals can be transmitted by PAM, PC, PWM OR PDM schemes
over a communication channel.

At the receiver, the samples are de-interleaved and then lowpass filtered to
retrieve the individual message. This is shown in Fig 2.

Clearly, it is necessary that the commutators at the transmitter and receiver by
synchronized. Loss of synchrony leads to incorrect de-interleaving and distorted
demodulation of the messages.
TDM is used with digital pulse modulation. The successful application of TDM
are in telephony, telemetry, radio, and data processing systems, Digital Enhanced
Cordless Telecommunication (DECT), second generation digital cellular phone systems
such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Digital-American Mobile
Phone Service (D-AMPS) Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) etc. Systems that utilize both
TDM and FDM jointly permit efficient utilization of the same microwave link, as in
telephony, for example.
