TDM is the time interleaving of samples from several sources so that the
information from these sources can be transmitted serially over a single
communication channel.
Figure 3-35 illustrates TDM applied to three analog sources that are
multiplexed over a PCM system.
Frame Synchronization
Figure 3.36 show that frame sync can be multiplexed along with the
information words in an N channel TDM system.
Figure 3-37 shows that the frame sync is recovered from the corrupted TDM
signal by using a frame synchronizer circuit which crosscorrelates the
regenerated TDM signal with the expected unique sync word vector s =
(s1,s2,…,sK).
For bit sync, data transmission systems are designed to operate with either
synchronous or asynchronous serial data lines.
¾In an asynchronous system, the timing is precise only for the bits within
each character (word). Also called start-stop signaling.

TDM Hierarchy
Standards adopted by North America and Japan are different from those that
have been adopted in other parts of the world. North America/Japan
standards were first adopted by AT&T.
Later an other set of standards were adopted by CCITT under the auspieces
of ITU.
The corresponding CCITT TDM standard that is used elsewhere in the world
is as shown in Fig. 3-41.
With the development of high-bit rate fiber optic systems, it has become
apparent that the original TDM standards are not adequate. A new TDM
standard called SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) was proposed by
Belcore and has evolved into an international standard. This SONET
standard is shown in Table 3-10.
