2. 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.

7. 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
Example 4.1
10. 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
1 kbps? How many if the data rate is 1 Mbps?
Solution
At 1 kbps, the receiver receives 1001 bps instead of 1000
bps.
Example 4.3
At 1 Mbps, the receiver receives 1,001,000 bps instead of
1,000,000 bps.
15. In NRZ-L the level of the voltage
determines the value of the bit.
In NRZ-I the inversion
or the lack of inversion
determines the value of the bit.
Note
16. NRZ-L and NRZ-I both have an average
signal rate of N/2 Bd.
Note
18. 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 rate is Bmin =
S = 500 kHz.

28. • Block coding is normally referred to
as mB/nB coding
• it replaces each m-bit group with an
n-bit group.
• Can give redundancy to ensure
synchronization and improve
performance of line coding

42. ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION
change an analog signal to digital data. In this section
we describe two techniques, pulse code modulation
and delta modulation.
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
Delta Modulation (DM)

48. We want to digitize the human voice. What is the bit rate,
assuming 8 bits per sample?
Solution
The human voice normally contains frequencies from 0
to 4000 Hz. So the sampling rate and bit rate are
calculated as follows:
