Bipolar schemes: AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) and pseudoternary

Multilevel Schemes • In mBnL schemes, a pattern of m data elements is encoded as a pattern of n signal elements in which 2m ≤ Ln • m: the length of the binary pattern • B: binary data • n: the length of the signal pattern • L: number of levels in the signaling

Table 4.1 Summary of line coding schemes

Block Coding • Redundancy is needed to ensure synchronization and to provide error detecting • Block coding is normally referred to as mB/nB coding • it replaces each m-bit group with an n-bit group • m < n

Table 4.2 4B/5B mapping codes

Scrambling • It modifies the bipolar AMI encoding (no DC component, but having the problem of synchronization) • It does not increase the number of bits • It provides synchronization • It uses some specific form of bits to replace a sequence of 0s

4-2 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION The tendency today is to change an analog signal to digital data. In this section we describe two techniques, pulse code modulationanddelta modulation.

Figure 4.21 Components of PCM encoder

According to the Nyquist theorem, the sampling rate must be at least 2 times the highest frequency contained in the signal. What can we get from this: 1. we can sample a signal only if the signal is band-limited 2. the sampling rate must be at least 2 times the highest frequency, not the bandwidth

Figure 4.26 Quantization and encoding of a sampled signal

Contribution of the quantization error to SNRdb SNRdb= 6.02nb + 1.76 dB nb: bits per sample (related to the number of level L) What is the SNRdB in the example of Figure 4.26? Solution We have eight levels and 3 bits per sample, so SNRdB = 6.02 x 3 + 1.76 = 19.82 dB Increasing the number of levels increases the SNR.

The minimum bandwidth of the digital signal is nb times greater than the bandwidth of the analog signal. Bmin= nb x Banalog We have a low-pass analog signal of 4 kHz. If we send the analog signal, we need a channel with a minimum bandwidth of 4 kHz. If we digitize the signal and send 8 bits per sample, we need a channel with a minimum bandwidth of 8 × 4 kHz = 32 kHz.

DM (delta modulation) finds the change from the previous sample Next bit is 1, if amplitude of the analog signal is larger Next bit is 0, if amplitude of the analog signal is smaller

Figure 6.12 TDM • TDM is a digital multiplexing technique for combining several low-rate channels into one high-rate one. • Two types: synchronous and statistical

Figure 6.13 Synchronous time-division multiplexing • In synchronous TDM, each input connection has an allotment in the output even if it is not sending data. • In synchronous TDM, the data rate of the link is n times faster, and the unit duration is n times shorter.

Figure 6.17 Example 6.9 Solution Figure 6.17 shows the output for four arbitrary inputs. The link carries 50,000 frames per second. The frame duration is therefore 1/50,000 s or 20 μs. The frame rate is 50,000 frames per second, and each frame carries 8 bits; the bit rate is 50,000 × 8 = 400,000 bits or 400 kbps. The bit duration is 1/400,000 s, or 2.5 μs.
