3.9 Time-Division Multiplexing
? Definition,Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is the
time interleaving of samples from several sources so
that the information from these sources can be
transmitted serially over a single communication
channel,

? At the receiver the decommutator has to be
synchronized with the incoming waveform so that the
PAM samples corresponding to source 1 will appear
on the channel 1 output,This is called frame
synchronization,which is very important for TDM
system,
? Low-pass filters are used to reconstruct the analog
signals from the PAM samples,
? Because of ISI resulting from poor channel filtering,
PCM samples from one channel may appear on
another channel,often called crosstalk,even though
perfect bit and frame synchronization were
maintained,

? (1) Sending a frame sync signal from the transmitter
over a separate channel
? (2) Deriving the frame sync from the TDM signal itself,

? Frame synchronization word,A segmented bits data
stream which obeys same rules,Usually,it should be
unique in the data stream,or at least,the appear
probability is very small in information words
? SW ----the sync word,usually it appears in the TDM
data stream periodly,So if we locate the sw,then we
could separate Ai from data stream,at same time,it
can be located at other Ai and Aj

? In some situation,when there is word in receiver data
stream happening to match the bits in the sync word,
False sync output pulses will occur,Its probability is,
9 0 )-(3 2= - KfP
? Since the output of the coincident detector is a
digitized crosscorrelation of the sync word with the
passing K-bit word stored in the shift register,The
sync word’s autocorrelation function must have the
properties,Rs(0)=1 and R(K)=0 for k not equal to 0,
? Example if Pf=4*10-5 is the allowed probability of false
sync,then a K=15-bit sync word is required,That is,a
15-stage shift register is needed for the frame
synchronizer in the receiver

data stream is clocked into the shift register,then,the
data in it is corss-correlated with the expected unique
sync word,If there is no difference,the coincident
detector will output a binary 1 with Tb width,or will
output a binary 0 with Tb width,

Suppose,1,4-bitPCM word for each analog source
2,synchronous multiplexer
Solution,
? For analog source,the sampling frequency,fs1=4kHz,
fs2=8kHz,fs3=4kHz,So we can design a multiplexer at
a rotating speed fs 4kHz,then the total output data of
analog source is 64k bits/s,it can segmented eight 8k

? For digital source,pulse stuffing is used to raise the
digital source rate to 8k bit/s

3.11 Pulse Time Modulation,Pulse Width
Modulation and Pulse Position Modulation
? Pulse time modulation (PTM) is a class of signaling
techniques that encodes the sample values of an
analog signal onto the time axis of a digital signal,
? Categories,
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
Pulse Position Modulation (PPM)
? In PWM,which is also called pulse duration
modulation (PDM) sample values of the analog
waveform are used to determine the width of the pulse
signal,
? In PPM the analog sample value determines the
position of the narrow pulse relative to the clocking
time,

Summary(1)
? Baseband digital signaling,
? How the information in analog waveforms can be
represented by digital signaling,
? How to compute the spectra for line codes
? How filtering of the digital signal,due to the
communication channel,affects out ability to recover
the digital information at the receiver
? How we can merge the information from several
sources into one digital signal by using TDM
22
Summary(2)
? PCM is an analog-to-digital conversion scheme that
involves three basic operation,
? (1) sampling a bandlimited analog signal ;
? (2) quantizing the analog samples into M discrete
value and
? (3) encoding each smaple value into an n-bit word
where M=2n,
? Two source of noise in the signal that is recovered at
the receiver output,
? (1) quantizing noise ; (2) noise due to receiver bit
detection errors; (3) noise due to aliasing,
23
Summary(3)
? ISI due to improper channel filtering
? Raised cosine-rolloff Nyquist filter
? The minimum bandwidth required to pass a digital
signal without ISI was equal to one-half of the baud
rate,
? The channel bandwidth may be reduced if multilevel
signal techniques are used (for a given data rate R)
