N Signals are often corrupted by spurious signals known collectively as noise. Such signals may originate from a large number of sources, e.g., lightnings, electrical motors, transformers, and power lines. Noise signals are characterized by frequency spectrums that stretch over a wide range of frequencies. They can be eliminated through the use of bandpass filters that would pass the desired signal but reject everything else, namely, the noise content.

The different carrier frequencies are combined by using an adder circuit. 3. At the receive end, carrier frequencies are separated using bandpass filters. 4. The voice signals are then extracted from the carrier frequencies through demodulation. 5. The voice signals are distributed to the appropriate persons through the local telephone lines.
