Question

Why can Digital data use time division multiplexing?

(a) Less power

(b) High power

(c) Discrete data

(d) Continuous data

This question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

Query is from Digital Transmission of Data topic in division Digital Communication Techniques of Avionics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Discrete data

Easy explanation: Digital data is discrete and hence can be transmitted via time division multiplexing, whereas analog data is continuous and can only be transmitted as a whole. However, analog data can be converted into digital by analog to digital converters and then be transmitted via time division multiplexing. Time division multiplexing is one of the biggest advantages of digital communication.
