Study Notes
Digital-to-Analog Conversion Aspects
- Bandwidth for analog transmission is linked to the baud rate, not the bit rate; higher baud rates require increased bandwidth.
Baud Rate and Bit Rate Examples
- An analog signal transmitting four bits per signal unit with 1000 signal units per second results in a baud rate of 1000 and a bit rate of 4000 bps.
- For a signal with a bit rate of 3000 and each signal unit carrying 6 bits, the baud rate calculates to 500 baud/s.
- For a bit rate of 1 Mbps and each signal unit carrying 4 bits, the baud rate is determined to be 250,000 baud.
Data Elements and Signal Elements
- A data element represents the smallest unit of information, typically one bit.
- Signal elements can carry multiple data elements, influencing the data rate and signal rate.
Data Rate vs Signal Rate
- Data Rate equates to the bit rate, represented in bps, indicating the number of data elements sent per second.
- Signal Rate (baud rate) indicates the number of signal elements transmitted per second.
- Increasing the data rate accelerates transmission speed, while reducing the signal rate decreases bandwidth needs.
Relationship Between Data Rate and Signal Rate
- The formula S = c × N × 1/r relates data rate and signal rate, with:
- S representing the signal rate (baud)
- N as the data rate (bps)
- c as a case factor relevant to the scenario
- r as bits per signal element
Examples of Signal Rate Calculations
- For a scenario where one data element corresponds to a signal element (r = 1), a bit rate of 100 kbps results in an average baud rate of 50 kbaud.
- The minimum baud rate can be 0 if c is 0, while the maximum can be equal to the bit rate if c is 1.
DC Component in Signals
- Some coding methods result in a residual DC component, leading to additional energy on the line and possible distortion in signal transmission.
- Techniques like Manchester encoding and 4B/5B encoding are employed to minimize or eliminate DC components.
Self-Synchronization in Data Transmission
- Synchronization between sender and receiver bit intervals is crucial; mismatched intervals can lead to signal misinterpretation.
- Biphase encoding techniques help maintain synchronization across the data transmission.
Line Coding Schemes
- Unipolar encoding uses a single polarity, while polar encoding uses two voltage levels, and bipolar encoding utilizes three levels.
- Polar encoding includes various types, such as Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ), Return-to-Zero (RZ), and Biphase (Manchester).
Unipolar NRZ Encoding
- Simple to implement and requires low bandwidth but suffers from potential synchronization loss and lacks error correction.
Polar NRZ Schemes
- NRZ-L maintains binary values without returning to zero in between bit intervals, with clear advantages and disadvantages, including DC components and synchronization issues.
Manchester Encoding
- Divides the bit duration into two halves, employing an inversion for both synchronization and data representation.
- Eliminates DC components due to alternating voltage levels but increases signal rate compared to NRZ methods.
