What is Multiplexing
This is where several circuits or channels use the same route/system.
There are only 3 types of Multiplexing or MUX.
1/ Space Division
2/ Frequency Division
3/ Time Division
1/ Space Division Multiplexing
This is not obvious, but is the simplest, it is where the circuits occupy
different physical space.
Examples are multi .---.
conductor cable /:::::\ : = Circuit pairs
where each circuit ｳ:::::::ｳ
is on different \:::::/Cable
conductors. '---'
X Band X Band X Band Another example would
Sat A Sat B Sat C be Satellites, where
\' . |'�. /� bands of frequencies
\ |� /�.'. or channels are reused
\ | /' .'�:. on satellites on
Different 'Same different beam headings.
Dish Angle Routes e.g. each 1.5� for comms Sats.
2/ Frequency Division Multiplexing
This is where the channels are split up on different frequencies like on a
radio. e.g. they all share the same aerial. Cable TV & old cable SSB telephone
system cram 1000s of channels down a coax this way.

Some high capacity Fibre optics systems still use it with different coloured
light to multiply the fibre capacity 1000s of times.
3/ Time Division Multiplexing *
This is where channel is swapped for another normally in sequence. Simplest
example would be day & nighttime TV by 2 different stations. Further example is
Stereo Radio, where the left & right channels are swapped over at 76000 times a
second. Note a synchronisation system is needed to maintain channel separation.

A switched audio system like this used to be used for busy transatlantic phone
calls, only switching in the those people who where actually talking.
More complex example is DAB/Digital TV where quality/digital statistical
multiplexing determines which channel get sent in the data stream next.
All 3 at once!
It is possible to get confused if more than one multiplex method is used.

Then huge capacities are possible with all 3 in use.
CONCLUSION
Quite often several of the above are used at once all invisibly computer
controlled. The advantage is more efficiency use of a route, but as a cost of
far more complexity and reduced reliability. E.g. a DAB Radio is running the
equivalent of a pentium processor to decode the bit stream.
QUESTION.
Now just ponder this:- Take two balanced 600ohm lines (diagonals of a quad
cable) and using balanced transformers (or op amps) make a 3rd circuit using
the centre tap phantoms...
