<p><b>Time-division multiplexing</b> (<b>TDM</b>) is a method of transmitting and receiving independent signals over a common signal path by means of synchronized switches at each end of the transmission line so that each signal appears on the line only a fraction of time according to agreed rules, e.g. with each transmitter working in turn. It can be used when the <a href="page.php?w=bit_rate">bit rate</a> of the transmission medium exceeds that of the signal to be transmitted.
