Exam-style question
Try this first
Synchronisation in TDM is required to maintain what property of the transmitted signal?.
- A.Constant amplitude.
- B.Fixed phase alignment.
- C.Accurate timing of slot boundaries.
- D.Randomised slot allocation.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Because accurate timing of slot boundaries is essential, synchronisation aligns the clocks.
Explanation
Why this works
Cause: need to maintain accurate timing of slot boundaries. Mechanism: synchronisation aligns transmitter and receiver clocks.
Effect: receiver can correctly identify slot boundaries. Consequence: correct demultiplexing.
