modulation and multiplexing techniques in Section 3 to be used to extend the single-bit embedding to multiple-bit embedding. We shall cover amplitude modulo modulation, orthogonal/bi-orthogonal modulation, and TDMA/ CDMA type modulation/multiplexing. These techniques are quantitatively compared in Section 4.

Modulation allows for the designated frequency bands (with the carrier frequency at the center of the band) to be utilized for communication and allows for signal multiplexing. Amplitude modulation (AM) is an analog and linear modulation process as opposed to frequency modulation (FM) and phase modulation (PM).

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Modulation - a mapping of the information on changes in the carrier phase, frequency or amplitude or combination. Multiplexing - method of sharing a bandwidth with other independent data channels. OFDM is a combination of modulation and multiplexing. Multiplexing generally refers to

Multiplexing Providing (dynamic) rerouting of channels Electronic multiplexing – signals from different channels are added before optical modulation Optical multiplexing – signals from different channels are coded into light before multiplexing Different schemes – Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

Modulation for multiplexing –This allows for multiple signals to be carried on a single transmission medium (multiplexing is one form of modulation). Modulation to overcome equipment limitations –Modulation is used to place signals in a portion of the spectrum where equipment limitations are minimal or most easily met.
