TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

4. Today’s Topic
• Using electronics today is so much a part of our daily lives we hardly think of the way the world would be without electronics. Everything from cooking
to music uses electronics or electronic components in some way. Our family car has many electronic components, as does our cooking stove, laptop
and cell phone. Children and teenagers carry mobile phones with them everywhere and use them to take and send pictures, videos, and to play music.
They send text messages on the cell phone to other phones and to their home computers.

• Invention
• The first digital pocket watch was the invention of Austrian engineer Josef Pallweber who created his "jump-hour"
mechanism in 1883.
• Registred
• The earliest patent for a digital alarm clock was registered by D.E Protzmann and others on October 23, 1956, in the United
States.
• Watch Company
• The Hamilton Watch Company, introduced the first digital wristwatch that included an LED display in 1970.
14. Uses Of Digital Clock
• Digital Clocks are used in different kinds of devices such as cars, radios, televisions, microwave ovens, standard ovens, computers and cell phones.

• Higher Accuracy
• Not Everyone Can Read Analog
Clocks
• Readable In the Dark
• This is important since 25 percent of Americans are late
for work once a month or more. You need a clock that
shows you the exact hours and minutes so that you can
plan your time more effectively. Accuracy also helps at
home when cooking or doing other projects.
• Manufacturers can incorporate a number of features into
any digital clock. This allows you to have a clock that can
also function as an alarm, a radio or even a stopwatch. It
can often be more helpful to have a compact digital clock
in the home with extra features to make things easier.
• This can be a real problem in your household if your
guests, children or younger family members come over
and need to know the time. Digital clocks are very clear
and just show numbers. They are instantly readable
without having to possess special knowledge.
• One possible cause is that analog clocks are not visible at
night in the dark. This leaves you wondering what time it
is or attempting to judge the time by the dim light
outside. Digital clocks use a liquid crystal display, or LCD,
face that will glow brightly in the dark. This lets you
always see the time even in total darkness.
