Questions and Answers

What is the main function of a demultiplexer?

  • Demodulate the audio or other modulation
  • Provide initial selectivity for the radio signal
  • Combine modulated signals
  • Separate data according to frequency band (correct)

Which type of multiplexing is used with analog signals?

  • Time division multiplexing (TDM)
