• Popular line coding techniques:
• Unipolar
• Polar
• Bipolar
• Modulation rate of various code
• Comparison of line coding techniques
¨Analog data, digital signals: Analog data, such as voice and video, are often digitized
to be able to use digital transmission facilities
¨Analog data, analog signals: Analog data are modulated by a carrier frequency to
produce an analog signal in a different frequency band, which can be utilized
¨Digital data, digital signals: simplest form of digital encoding of digital data
DATA ENCODING
Encoding is the process of using various patterns of voltage or current levels to
represent 1s and 0s of the digital signals on the transmission link.
Encoding Techniques
The data encoding technique is divided into the following types, depending upon the
type of data conversion.
Analog data to Analog signals − The modulation techniques such as Amplitude Modulation, Frequency
Modulation and Phase Modulation of analog signals, fall under this category.
Analog data to Digital signals − This process can be termed as digitization, which is done by Pulse
Code Modulation PCM. Hence, it is nothing but digital modulation. As we have already discussed, sampling
and quantization are the important factors in this. Delta Modulation gives a better output than PCM.
Digital data to Analog signals − The modulation techniques such as Amplitude Shift Keying ASK,
Frequency Shift Keying FSK, Phase Shift Keying PSK, etc., fall under this category. These will be
discussed in subsequent chapters.

UNIPOLAR-RZ
• Only two voltage levels are used
Each 0 = off pulse (represented by 0)
Each 1 = ON Pulse (represented by 1)
