What is a key requirement for effective time‑division multiplexing?.
- A.Each signal must have a unique carrier frequency.
- B.The channel must support multiple simultaneous data streams.
- C.The signals must be synchronized to a common clock.
- D.The signals must be encoded in phase modulation.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The correct option is 'The signals must be synchronized to a common clock.'
Explanation
Why this works
Rule: Synchronisation ensures that each signal occupies its correct time slot. Substitution: Clock ticks define slot boundaries.
Working: Without synchronisation, signals would overlap or be lost. Answer: The correct option is 'The signals must be synchronized to a common clock.' Units/conclusion: Synchronisation is essential for TDM.
