Overview#
Time-Division Multiplex (
TDM) is a method of transmitting and receiving independent signals over a common signal path by means of synchronized switches at each end of the transmission line so that each signal appears on the line only a fraction of time in an alternating pattern.
Time-Division Multiplex is used when the bit rate of the transmission medium exceeds that of the signal to be transmitted.
