MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION (transmission in general H 04 B; peculiar to transmission of digital information H 04 L 5/00; systems for the simultaneous or sequential transmission of more than one television signal H 04 N 7/08; in exchanges H 04 Q 11/00; stereophonic systems H 04 S)

Note

This subclass covers:

–

circuits or apparatus for combining or dividing signals for the purpose of transmitting them simultaneously or sequentially over the same transmission path;

–

monitoring arrangements therefor.

Frequency-division multiplex systems (H 04 J 14/00 takes precedence) [5]

Details

Frequency-transposition arrangements

using digital techniques [3]

Arrangements for supplying the carrier waves

Arrangements for combining channels

Intermediate station arrangements, e.g. for branching, for tapping-off

Arrangements for reducing cross-talk between channels

Arrangements providing for calling or supervisory signals

Monitoring arrangements

in which all the carriers are amplitude-modulated (H 04 J 1/02 takes precedence) [3]

in which at least one carrier is angle-modulated (H 04 J 1/02 takes precedence) [3]

Time-division multiplex systems (H 04 J 14/00 takes precedence; relay systems H 04 B 7/14; selecting techniques H 04 Q) [4,5]

Details (electronic switching or gating H 03 K 17/00)

Distributors combined with modulators or demodulators

Synchronising arrangements

using pulse stuffing for systems with different or fluctuating information rates [3]

Intermediate station arrangements, e.g. for branching, for tapping-off

Arrangements for reducing cross-talk between channels

Arrangements providing for calling or supervisory signals

Monitoring arrangements

in which the time allocation to individual channels within a transmission cycle is variable, e.g. to accommodate varying complexity of signals, to vary number of channels transmitted (H 04 J 3/17, H 04 J 3/24 take precedence) [4]

in which the transmission channel allotted to a first user may be taken away and re-allotted to a second user if the first user becomes inactive, e.g. TASI [4]

using frequency compression and subsequent expansion of the individual signals

using resonant transfer [2]

in which the sources have different rates or codes [4]

in which the allocation is indicated by an address (H 04 J 3/17 takes precedence; in computers G 06 F 12/00, G 06 F 13/00) [4]

in which the information and the address are simultaneously transmitted [4]

Combined time-division and frequency-division multiplex systems (H 04 J 13/00 takes precedence) [2]

Multiplex systems in which the amplitudes or durations of the signals in individual channels are characteristic of those channels

in which the polarity of the amplitude is characteristic

Multiplex systems in which each channel is represented by a different type of modulation of the carrier
