Abstract

In a time division multiplexing system for multiplexing a plurality of channels having mutually-independent bit rates, the improvement wherein the pulse signals of each channel are converted into codes so that the information "1" is represented by a pulse having a width of two consecutive transmission clock periods ("0,0" or "1,1") the information "0" is represented by a pluse having a width of a single transmission clock period ("0" or "1"), and polarities of adjacent pulses are always different from each other; the pulse signals are compressed time-wise in a frame unit; and a frame synchronizing signal and a channel synchronizing signal, each consisting of marks or spaces having a duration of at least three consecutive transmission clock periods, are added to the intervals between the time-compressed frames to thereby perform time division multiplexing.
