This document discusses different multiplexing techniques, including frequency division multiplexing (FDM), which divides a carrier's bandwidth into logical channels that do not overlap, with each user assigned an independent channel frequency. It also describes time division multiplexing (TDM), a digital technique where each transmitter is assigned a time slot, and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), an analog optical networking method that combines multiple wavelengths of light into a single optical fiber.
