How does FDM combine multiple signals into one?
A signal is generated and modulated by a sending device and is carried over the separated bands. The modulated signals are combined using a multiplexer (mux) and transmitted over the communication channel. At the receiving end, the combined signal goes through a demultiplexer (demux) to extract the individual signals.
Why are frequencies divided into multiple bandwidths?
It helps to transmit multiple channels of data in satellite communication. Frequency Division Multiplexing System is used in the telephone system. FDM helps to transmit multiple phone calls over a single transmission line or a single link.
Why guard band is necessary when multiplexing multiple channels together?
Guard bands are needed between the frequency channels to reduce interchannel interference.
What is frequency division multiplexing and how does it work give an example to explain your answer?
The most common example of frequency-division multiplexing is radio and television broadcasting, in which multiple radio signals at different frequencies pass through the air at the same time. Another example is cable television, in which many television channels are carried simultaneously on a single cable.
