Data rate and Baud rate
The baud or signal rate can be expressed
as:
S = c x N x 1/r bauds
where N is data rate
c is the case factor (worst, best & avg.)
r is the ratio between data element & signal
element

Line encoding C/Cs
Noise and interference - there are line
encoding techniques that make the
transmitted signal “immune” to noise and
interference
This means that the signal cannot be
corrupted, it is stronger than error
detection.
4.8
Line encoding C/Cs
Complexity - the more robust and
resilient the code, the more complex it is to
implement and the price is often paid in
baud rate or required bandwidth

Unipolar
All signal levels are on one side of the
time axis -either above or below
NRZ - Non Return to Zero scheme is an
example of this code
The signal level does not return to zero
during a symbol transmission
Scheme is prone to baseline wandering and
DC components
It has no synchronization or any error
detection
It is simple but costly in power consumption.
