1 Conceptual Background
Data communication is the process of transmitting information over different channels. To
ensure reliable and efficient transmission, encoding the data into appropriate formats becomes
crucial. This laboratory exercise revolves around the use of line coding techniques, which
transform binary data for transmission over various media.

Types of Line Coding:


• Unipolar NRZ (Non-Return-to-Zero):
– 1: A binary ’1’ is represented by a positive voltage.
– 0: A binary ’0’ is represented by a zero voltage.
– Pros: Simple and straightforward to implement.
– Cons: It carries a DC component and has no inherent synchronization.
• Unipolar RZ (Return-to-Zero):
– 1: A binary ’1’ is represented by a high voltage, but it returns to zero in the middle
of the bit period.
– 0: A binary ’0’ is represented by zero voltage for the entire bit duration.
– Pros: Improves synchronization when compared to NRZ.
– Cons: Uses more bandwidth due to additional transitions.
• Polar NRZ (Non-Return-to-Zero):
– 1: A binary ’1’ is represented by a positive voltage.
– 0: A binary ’0’ is represented by a negative voltage.
– Pros: Eliminates the DC component, unlike Unipolar NRZ.
– Cons: Lacks synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
• Polar RZ (Return-to-Zero):
– 1: A binary ’1’ is represented by a positive voltage that returns to zero halfway
through the bit period.
– 0: A binary ’0’ is represented by a negative voltage, returning to zero midway
through the bit period.
– Pros: Enhances synchronization over Polar NRZ.
– Cons: Requires additional bandwidth due to the return-to-zero transitions.
• Bipolar AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion):
– 0: A binary ’0’ is represented by zero voltage.
– 1: A binary ’1’ alternates between positive and negative voltages.
– Pros: Reduces DC bias and provides easier error detection.
– Additional Benefit: Prevents long periods of constant voltage due to alternating
’1’s.
• Manchester Encoding:

2
– 1: A binary ’1’ is indicated by a transition from low to high voltage during the bit
period.
– 0: A binary ’0’ is indicated by a transition from high to low voltage during the bit
period.
– Pros: Self-synchronizing, as each bit involves a transition.
– Cons: Requires double the bandwidth compared to NRZ and RZ formats.

Significance of Line Coding:


Line coding plays a vital role in ensuring that binary data is accurately transmitted over physical
media. Properly selecting the most suitable line coding scheme can:
• Ensure better synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver.
• Minimize transmission errors by maintaining signal balance.
• Efficiently utilize available bandwidth by reducing unnecessary transitions.
• Ensure that the transmission format is compatible with the underlying medium.
