The correct answer is 4) Time multiplexing

Solution:

  • In a multiple-trace oscilloscope, the technique commonly used to display two (or more) signals on the screen simultaneously is time multiplexing.
     
  • The oscilloscope rapidly switches (multiplexes) between the input signals at a high rate.

  • This switching happens so fast that to the human eye, it appears as if both signals are being displayed at the same time.

Additional Information

  • 1) Voltage division: Used for attenuating signal amplitude, not for displaying multiple signals.

  • 2) Beam splitting: Not practical in oscilloscopes — they use a single electron beam.

  • 3) Signal amplification: Used to strengthen a weak signal, not to display multiple signals.
