Line Coding Techniques

This document discusses line coding techniques for converting digital data to digital signals. It describes several common line coding schemes including NRZ, RZ, Manchester, AMI, pseudoternary, and 2B1Q. These schemes can be categorized as polar, bipolar, or multilevel depending on whether they use one, two, or more voltage levels to represent bits. The objectives are to understand digital signal representation and different techniques for line coding digital data onto a transmission line.

Line Coding Techniques

Session Objectives

After going through this session you will be able to understand:

 Digital data and digital signal representation


 Technique for Line Coding
Line Coding

 Line coding is the process of converting digital data to digital signals.


 It is assumed that data, in the form of text, numbers, graphical images, audio, or video, are
stored in computer memory as sequences of bits.
 Line coding converts a sequence of bits to a digital signal. At the sender, digital data are
encoded into a digital signal; at the receiver, the digital data are recreated by decoding the
digital signal.
Digital signal representation
Line Coding Schemes
Polarity
The separation, alignment or orientation of something into two opposed poles.

We can roughly divide line coding schemes into five broad categories, as shown below

NRZ: Non return to zero


NRZ-I: non return to zero inverted
AMI: Alternate Mark Inversion
2B1Q: Two-binary, one-quaternary
4D-PAM5: 4-data line, 5-level pulse amplitude modulation
MLT-3: Multi-Level Transmit
Unipolar NRZ Coding

Unipolar encoding only makes use of one polarity, i.e. positive voltage, to represent a binary 1
and it uses an idle line to represent a binary 0, i.e. zero voltage. 
Polar NRZ-L and NRZ-I Coding

Polar schemes
In polar schemes, the voltages are on the both sides of the axis. Examples NRZ-L, NRZ-I
Polar RZ Coding
Polar Manchester and Differential
Manchester Coding
Bi-Polar AMI and Pseudoternary Coding

Bipolar schemes

In this scheme there are three voltage levels positive, negative, and zero. The voltage level for
one data element is at zero, while the voltage level for the other element alternates between
positive and negative.
Multlevel 2B1Q

previous Level: Positive Previous Level: Negative
