    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.
