Question

Four data channels (digital), each

transmitting at 1 Mbps, use a
satellite channel of 1 MHz. Design
an appropriate configuration, using
FDM.

Answer 1

To configure the four 1 Mbps data channels over the 1 MHz satellite channel using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), each of the four channels should be allocated 250 kHz of bandwidth. The total bandwidth of the four channels combined is then 1 MHz, which matches the capacity of the satellite channel. The resulting frequency division multiplexing configuration will thus consist of four different channels separated by 250 kHz each, allowing each channel to transmit data at 1 Mbps
