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
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

2. 1.1 Definition of Geology and its applied branch
Geology is the science of the Earth, including its composition & structure,
its history or its past life forms.
Generally; Geology is divided into two major groups.
1. Physical Geology
2. Historical Geology
Physical Geology deals with the materials that constitute the Earth (soils
and rocks), the structures and surface features of the Earth, and the
processes that created these structures.
3. Cont..
Historical Geology deals with the history of the Earth. Geology is further
divided into a number of branches according to the subject matter that is
covered or to the industrial or commercial applications.
Applied Branches of Geology

16. 1.4 Earth and its interior
The Earth is a dynamic means of a system of various subsystems or related
parts (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and solid earth) interacting in
organized fashion. Therefore, it is constantly changing planet in terms of: -
its internal structure (initially homogeneous, but gradually with cooling
separated into distinct concentric layers, lava spewing out of its warm
interior, ice, water and windblown sand and gravity reshaping its
surface, over and over),
17. Cont..
• its external structure (its crust shifting to build mountains).
Structure and Composition of Interior of the Earth: - The current day
Earth is not composed of a homogeneous mixture of materials rather the
materials are arranged in a series of concentric layers of differing nature.
The Earth’s interior is chemically differentiated into three major zones.
18. Cont..
As a result of the molten nature of Earth, dense materials, like
metallic iron, would have tended to sink toward the middle of the
Earth.
As cooling progressed, lighter, low-density minerals crystallized and
floated out toward the surface. The eventual result was an earth
differentiated into several major compositional zones.
19. Cont..
Figure 1.1 A schematic view of Interior of the Earth with depth to each layers from the
Earth surface
20. Cont..
Crust
It is a rigid, outer most shell of the Earth; it can be exemplified by
breadcrumbs. The crust is very thin (average 40Km).
The thinnest parts are under the oceans (oceanic crust) and go to a
depth of roughly 10 kilometers.
The thickest parts are the continents (Continental crust) which extend
down to 100 kilometers on average.
21. Cont..
Mantle
It is the next layer. It can be exemplified by sausage meat. The mantle is
the layer beneath the crust which extends about half way to the centre.
Core: is divided into two.
Outer core: This is liquid and can be exemplified by egg white. The
outer core is the layer beneath the mantle depth of 2,900-5,200
kilometers.
22. Cont..
Inner core: This is a solid middle bit and can be exemplified by egg yolk.
The inner core is a bit in the middle at depth of 5,200-6,373 kilometers.
It’s unattached to the mantle, suspended in the molten outer core.
