Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) allows multiple data streams to be sent over a single signal by dividing it into time slots for each stream, ensuring proper synchronization for transmission and reception. While TDM has advantages such as simple circuit design and efficient bandwidth usage, it also has drawbacks including complexity in implementation and lower latency compared to Frequency Division Multiplexing. Additionally, Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) systems transmit television signals directly to homes using satellites, offering higher quality compared to traditional cable, with key components including a broadcasting center, satellite, encoder, multiplexer, modulator, set-top box, and receiver.

Time Division Multiplexing

Time-division multiplexing method works by putting several data streams within a single
signal by dividing the signal into various segments, where each segment has a very short
duration. Every individual data stream at the receiving end is reassembled depending on
the timing.

In the following TDM diagram, when the three sources A, B & C wants to send data through
a common medium, the signal from these three sources can be separated into various
frames where every frame has its fixed time slot.

TDM Working
In the above TDM system, three units from every source are taken into consideration that
forms the actual signal jointly.
A frame is collected with a single unit of each source that is transmitted at a time. When
these units are different completely from each other, then preventable signal mixing
chances can be removed. Once a frame gets transmitted above a specific time slot, then the
second frame utilizes a similar channel to get transmitted & further this process is repeated
until the transmission is completed.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantages of time division multiplexing include the following.
 The circuit design of TDM is simple.
 TDM uses the total bandwidth of the channel for signal transmission.
 In TDM, the intermediation distortion issue is not there.
The disadvantages of time division multiplexing include the following.
 Both the transmitting & receiving sections should be synchronized
properly to have right signal transmission & reception.
 TDM is complex to implement.
 As compared to FDM, this multiplexing has lower latency.
2.b)
A Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system, also known as direct-to-home (DTH)
television, transmits television signals directly to homes, bypassing local cable
providers. These systems use communication satellites in geostationary orbit to
broadcast multiple channels to individual viewers. DBS systems offer advantages
like higher quality picture and sound compared to traditional cable.
Key Components:
 Broadcasting Center:
This is where the television programs are encoded, multiplexed, and modulated
for transmission.
 Satellite:
The satellite acts as a relay station in space, receiving signals from the
broadcasting center and retransmitting them to the Earth.
 Encoder:
The encoder converts the analog signals into digital format and compresses
them to reduce bandwidth requirements, according to a Scribd document on
DTH.
 Multiplexer:
The multiplexer combines multiple digital channels onto a single carrier signal.
 Modulator:
The modulator prepares the signal for transmission by modulating the carrier
frequency with the digital data.
 Set-top box:
This device decodes the satellite signals and converts them back into analog
signals for viewing on a TV, according to a Scribd document on DTH.
 Receiver:
The receiving antenna captures the satellite signals and sends them to the set-
top box.
Diagram:
While a visual diagram can help illustrate the flow of signals, here's a text-based
representation of the main components:
