DIGITAL-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION
In this section, we see how we can represent digital data by using digital signals. The
conversion involves three techniques: line coding, block coding, and scrambling. Line coding
is always needed; block coding and scrambling may or may not be needed.

Signal element versus data element
A signal is carrying data in which one data element is encoded as one signal element ( r = 1). If the
bit rate is 100 kbps, what is the average value of the baud rate if c is between 0 and 1?
Solution
We assume that the average value of c is 1/2 . The baud rate is then
Effect of lack of synchronization
In a digital transmission, the receiver clock is 0.1 percent faster than the sender clock. How many
extra bits per second does the receiver receive if the data rate is
Solution
In NRZ-L the level of the voltage determines the value of the bit.
NRZ-L and NRZ-I both have an average signal rate of N/2 Bd.
A system is using NRZ-I to transfer 10-Mbps data. What are the average signal rate and minimum
bandwidth?
Solution
The average signal rate is S = N/2 = 500 kbaud. The minimum bandwidth for this average baud

We have seen in previous Chapter that a digital signal is superior to an analog signal. The
tendency today is to change an analog signal to digital data. In this section we describe two
this signal?
Solution
The bandwidth of a low-pass signal is between 0 and f, where f is the maximum frequency in the
signal. Therefore, we can sample this signal at 2 times the highest frequency (200 kHz). The
this signal?
Solution
We cannot find the minimum sampling rate in this case because we do not know where the
bandwidth starts or ends. We do not know the maximum frequency in the signal.
Quantization and encoding of a sampled signal
A telephone subscriber line must have an SNRdB above 40. What is the minimum number of bits
per sample?
Solution
Solution
The human voice normally contains frequencies from 0 to 4000 Hz. So the sampling rate and bit
minimum bandwidth of 4 kHz. If we digitize the signal and send 8 bits per sample, we need a
The transmission of binary data across a link can be accomplished in either parallel or serial
mode. In parallel mode, multiple bits are sent with each clock tick. In serial mode, 1 bit is sent
with each clock tick. While there is only one way to send parallel data, there are three
