    Which of the RF multiplexing methods uses times slices to carry multiple data streams on a single carrier?

    • TDM

    • AM

    • FDM

    • FM

    Correct Answer
    A. TDM
    Explanation
    TDM, or Time Division Multiplexing, is a method of RF (Radio Frequency) multiplexing that uses time slices to carry multiple data streams on a single carrier. In TDM, each data stream is given a dedicated time slot during which it can transmit its data. This allows multiple data streams to share the same carrier frequency without interfering with each other. Each data stream takes turns transmitting its data in its assigned time slot, creating the illusion of simultaneous transmission. TDM is commonly used in telecommunications and networking systems to efficiently utilize available bandwidth and transmit multiple signals over a single channel.
