Given the following statements:
(1) Frequency division multiplexing is a technique that can be applied when the bandwidth of a link is greater than combined bandwidth of signals to be transmitted.
(2) Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is an analog multiplexing technique to combine optical signals.
(3) WDM is a digital multiplexing technique.
(4) TDM is digital multiplexing technique.
Which of the following is correct?
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (D) (1), (2) and (4) are true (3) is false
Explanation
Multiplexing is of three types: (1) Frequency division multiplexing (FDM) – analog signals. (2) Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) – analog signals (used in optical fiber). (3) Time division multiplexing (TDM) – digital signals; a single frame is made with interleaved digital signals from n devices. So (1), (2) and (4) are true and (3) is false.
