This article touches upon wave modulation techniques used in physical layer that allows one or multiple low bandwidth signals to use or share a high frequency bandwidth. Note that post only covered the lowest layer of OSI model ie physical layer and not the data link layer which actually provides access technologies liek FDMA , TDMA , CDMA etc.
