EEE 314: Data Communications 5
& Computer Networks Digital to Digital Conversion • Technique used for converting digital data into digital signal is known as Line Coding. • It falls into three broad range categories 1.Unipolar 2.Polar 3.Bipolar
EEE 314: Data Communications 6
& Computer Networks Digital to Digital Conversion • It falls into three broad range categories 1. Unipolar 2. Polar 3. Bipolar Unipolar • Unipolar encoding is the simplest and is obsolete now. • It comprises of only one signal level which mostly is positive. The other usually is zero voltage. • Bit rate is same as baud rate i.e one bit per signal level. Drawbacks: • DC component present • Synchronization which causes loss of data for long sequence of 0’s and 1’s. Effect of lack of synchronization
EEE 314: Data Communications 10
& Computer Networks Polar Encoding • It uses two voltage levels one is positive and other is negative Polar Encoding NRZ • Non-Return-to-Zero • Voltage level is constant during a bit interval. • It composes of two schemes. 1. NRZ-L (level) 2. NRZ-I (Inversion) NRZ NRZ-L • 1 = low level • 0 = high level NRZ-I • For each 1 in the bit sequence, the signal level is inverted. • Transition from one voltage level to other represents a 1. • Drawback: • No transition for long number of zeros. Polar NRZ-L and NRZ-I Schemes
EEE 314: Data Communications 17
& Computer Networks NRZ characteristics • Two levels • Bit rate same as baud rate • Loss of synchronization for long sequence of 0’s and 1’s. RZ Encoding • To overcome the problem of loss of synchronization RZ is introduced. • Transition of signal in each bit. • Three signal levels • Good synchronization Drawbacks • Bit rate is double of baud rate • Increase in bandwidth Return to Zero Scheme
EEE 314: Data Communications 20
& Computer Networks Manchester Biphase Encoding • The mid-bit transition serves as a clocking mechanism and also as data. • Low to high represent a 1 and high to low represent a 0. Differential Manchester (biphase) • Presence of transition in the beginning of a bit represent a 0. • Uses inversion in the middle of each bit for synchronization. Polar Biphase: Manchester and Differential Manchester Schemes
EEE 314: Data Communications 23
& Computer Networks Polar Biphase Encoding Characteristics • Two levels • No DC component • Good Synchronization Drawback • Higher bandwidth due to doubling of baud rate with respect to data rate. Bipolar Encoding • It uses the technique AMI (amplitude Mark Inversion) • Uses three voltage levels • Unlike RZ the zero level is used to represent a 0. • Binary 1s are represented by alternating positive and negative voltages. Characteristics of Bipolar AMI • Pseudoternary: same as AMI but alternating positive and negative pulses occur for 0 instead of binary 1. • It has three levels • No DC components • Loss of synchronization for long sequence of 0s • Lesser bandwidth. Bipolar Schemes: AMI and Pseudo ternary

& Computer Networks Relationship between data rate and baud rate • D = R/b = R/log2L Where D is the modulation rate in baud R is the data rate in bps L is the number of different signal levels b is the number of bits per signal element
