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.
The delta f over f parameter in frequency modulation is significant because it represents the frequency deviation relative to the carrier frequency. It determines the amount by which the frequency of the modulated signal varies from the original carrier frequency. This parameter is crucial in determining the bandwidth and quality of the modulated signal in frequency modulation systems.
If you're talking about electronic communication, both analog and digital communication use a "carrier" frequency to send data. Voice can be across a wire without a carrier, but it's not very efficient. When a carrier frequency is used, the baseline frequency or amplitude can be modulated to transmit the data. In the case of a digital signal, the computer is watching the pulses. any anomaly in the pulses that are expected at a specific time can be converted to data. Data is validated using checksums and parity.
In telecommunications and computer networks, multiplexing (known as muxing) is a term used to refer to a process where multiple analog message signals or digital data streams are combined into one signal over a shared medium. The aim is to share an expensive resource. For example, in telecommunications, several phone calls may be transferred using one wire. It originated in telegraphy, and is now widely applied in communications. The multiplexed signal is transmitted over a communication channel, which may be a physical transmission medium. The multiplexing divides the capacity of the low-level communication channel into several higher-level logical channels, one for each message signal or data stream to be transferred. A reverse process, known as demultiplexing, can extract the original channels on the receiver side. A device that performs the multiplexing is called a multiplexer (MUX), and a device that performs the reverse process is called a demultiplexer (DEMUX). Inverse multiplexing (IMUX) has the opposite aim as multiplexing, namely to break one data stream into several streams, transfer them simultaneously over several communication channels, and recreate the original data stream.Techniques of MultiplexingA multiplexing technique may be further extended into a multiple access method or channel access method, for example TDM into Time-division multiple access (TDMA) and statistical multiplexing into carrier sense multiple access (CSMA). A multiple access method makes it possible for several transmitters connected to the same physical medium to share its capacity.Multiplexing is provided by the Physical Layer of the OSI model, while multiple access also involves a media access control protocol, which is part of the Data Link Layer.
The delta f/f measurement is important in frequency modulation because it indicates the extent of frequency deviation from the carrier signal. This measurement helps determine the amount of information that can be encoded and transmitted through the modulation process.
