Study Notes
Line Coding Schemes
- Used to convert digital data to analog signals for transmission over physical media.
- Different schemes utilize varying voltage levels and transitions to represent binary data.
- Schemes can balance factors such as bandwidth, DC component, error detection, and complexity.
Unipolar Schemes
- All signal levels are on one side of the time axis (either above or below).
- NRZ (Non-Return to Zero): Signal level doesn't return to zero during symbol transmission.
- Prone to baseline wandering and DC component issues.
- No synchronization or error detection capabilities.
- Simple implementation but high power consumption.
Polar Schemes
- Voltage levels are on both sides of the time axis.
- NRZ-L (Non-Return to Zero - Level): Positive voltage for one symbol, negative for the other.
- NRZ-I (Non-Return to Zero - Inversion): Change in polarity represents a "1" symbol, no change represents a "0".
Bipolar Schemes
- Utilize three voltage levels: "+", "0", and "-".
- AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion): "0" symbol represented by zero voltage, "1" symbol alternates between +V and -V.
- No DC component or baseline wandering, but lacks self-synchronization.
- No error detection capabilities.
- Pseudoternary: Inverse of AMI; "0" symbol alternates between +V and -V, "1" symbol is represented by zero voltage.
Block Coding Schemes
- Add redundancy to data bits for error detection and synchronization.
- mB/nB Coding: Replaces each m-bit group with an n-bit group (e.g. 4B/5B).
- Prevents certain bit combinations causing DC components or poor synchronization.
- 4B/5B Coding:
- Increases bit rate by 25%.
- Minimum bandwidth is N/2 for NRZ-I.
- Requires higher bandwidth (1.25 MHz) with Manchester encoding.
- 8B10B Coding: Offers more redundant bits for improved error detection and elimination of DC component issues.
Multilevel Schemes
- Increase the number of data bits per symbol, increasing the bit rate.
- mBnL Notation:
- "m": Length of binary pattern.
- "n": Length of signal pattern.
- "L": Number of levels (B = binary, T = ternary, Q = quaternary).
- mBnL schemes work when 2m ≤ Ln.
Line Encoding Considerations
- Error Detection: Codes with specific signal transitions or patterns allow identification of errors.
- Noise and Interference: Some line encoding techniques offer immunity to noise and interference, ensuring signal integrity.
- Complexity: More robust and resilient codes often demand more complex implementation and may impact baud rate or required bandwidth.
