Line-Coding

This document discusses line coding techniques for digital communication. It begins with an introduction explaining that line coding converts digital signals to electrical pulses for transmission over guided mediums like coaxial cable. Common line coding methods are then described in three groups: non-return to zero coding, return to zero coding, and phase encoded waveforms. Specific coding schemes like NRZ-L, RZ, and Manchester coding are explained in detail, along with their procedures for representing 1s and 0s. Diagrams are provided to illustrate the different line coding methods.

1.1. Introduction to Line Coding

In this chapter, we show the schemes and techniques that we use to transmit bits over
guided medium or baseband channel (such as coaxial cable) by converting the signal into
electrical pulses. This technique called Line coding or pulse modulation (some time is
called digital data to digital signals conversion).

Line coding consists of representing the digital signal to be transported, by a waveform that
is appropriate for the specific properties of the physical channel (and of the receiving
equipment). The pattern of voltage, current or photons used to represent the digital data on
a transmission link is called line encoding. The common types of line encoding are:

1.2. Common Line Coding Waveform

Generally, line codes are divided into three groups, which are:

1. Non Return to zero Group (NRZ)


a. NRZ – Level (ON-OFF signal)
b. NRZ – Mark
c. NRZ - Space
2. Return to zero group (RZ)
3. Phase encoded waveform
a. Biphase – L (Manchester coding)
b. Biphase – M
c. Biphase - S

1.2.1. Non return Zero NRZ Group

NRZ – L Procedure: Non return to zero level. This is the standard positive logic signal
format used in digital circuits.

1. 1 forces a high level

2. 0 forces a low level

NRZ – M Procedure:

1. Initial, 1 is high and 0 is low

2. Then, 1 forces a transition

3. 0 does nothing (keeps sending the previous level)

NRZ – S Procedure:

1. Initial, 0 is high and 1 is low

2. 1 does nothing (keeps sending the previous level)

3. 0 forces a transition

NRZ – Polar Procedure:

1. 1 is represented by positive +𝑉

2. 0 is represented by positive −𝑉

1.2.2. Return Zero (RZ) Group

Unipolar RZ Procedure:

1. 1 goes high for half the bit period and returns to low

2. 0 stays low for the entire period

Bipolar RZ Procedure:

1. 1 goes high for half the bit period and returns to low in +𝑉

2. 0 goes high for half the bit period and returns to low in −𝑉

Figure 1.2. RZ groups

1.2.3. Return Zero (RZ) Group

Biphase – L (Manchester):
1. Two consecutive bits of the same type force a transition at the

beginning of a bit period.

2. 1 forces a negative transition in the middle of the bit

3. 0 forces a positive transition in the middle of the bit

Figure 1.3. Biphase Groups

Biphase – M Procedure:

1. Initial, 1 is half low then high, 0 is low space

2. 1 forces a transition but opposite to previous

3. 0 keeps level constant but opposite to previous

In Biphase – S Procedure:

3. 1 keeps level constant but opposite to previous
