Introduction
• A significant portion of communication in 1990s was in analog.
• It has been replaced rapidly by digital communication.
• Now most of the communications become digital, with analog
communication playing a minor role.
• This chapter addresses the framework (several major aspects) of
digital data transmission
• All we learnt in this course so far is utilized here.
• Hence, this chapter is naturally a conclusion of this course.

Line Coder (Transmission Coder)
• The output of a multiplexer is coded into
electrical pulses or waveforms for the purpose
of transmission over the channel.
• This process is called a line coding or
transmission coding
• Many possible ways of assigning waveforms
(pulses) to the digital data.

is encoded by -p (t) or p (t)

In short, pulses representing consecutive 1’s alternate
in sign.
• All the above three could use half-width pulses. It is
possible to select other width.

• Full width pulses are often used in some
applications.
– i.e., the pulse amplitude is held to a constant value
throughout the pulse interval (it does not have a
chance to go to zero before the next pulse begins).
– These schemes are called non return-to-zero (NRZ)
in contrast to return-to-zero (RZ)
– Figure 7.2 shows
• An On-off NRZ signal
• A Polar NRZ signal in d and e parts of the figure

Multiplexer
• Usually, the capacity of a practical channel >>
the data rate of individual sources.
• To utilize this capacity effectively, we combine
several sources through a digital multiplexer
using the process of interleaving.
• One way: A channel is time-shared by several
messages simultaneously.
Dr. Shi
Lathi & Ding-Digital Commun
9
Regenerative Repeater
• Used at regularly spaced intervals along a digital
transmission line to: 1) detect the incoming digital
signal and 2) regenerate new clean pulses for further
transmission along the line.
• This process periodically eliminates, and thereby
combats the accumulation of noise and signal distortion
along the transmission path.
• The periodic timing information (the clock signal at R b
Hz) is required to sample the incoming signal at a
repeater.
• R b (rate): pulses/sec
Dr. Shi
Lathi & Ding-Digital Commun

Regenerative Repeater…
• The clock signal can be extracted from the
received signal.
– e.g., the polar signal
when rectified ⇒ a clock signal at Rb Hz
• The on-off signal = A periodic signal at Rb
+ a polar signal (Figure 7.)
• When the periodic signal is applied to a resonant
circuit tuned to Rb Hz, the output, a sinusoid of
Rb Hz, can be used for timing.

• The bipolar signal
an on-off signal
⇒ the clock signal can also be extracted.
• The timing signal (the output of the resonant circuit) is
sensitive to the incoming pattern, sometimes.
– e.g. in on-off, or 
 0
bipolar

↔
no pulse
• If there are too many zeros in a sequence, will have
problem.
– no signal at the input of the resonant circuit for a while
– sinusoids output of the resonant circuit starts decaying
• Polar scheme has no such a problem.
Dr. Shi
Lathi & Ding-Digital Commun
13
Transparent Line Code
• A line code in which the bit pattern does not
affect the accuracy of the timing information is
said to be a transparent line code.
– The polar scheme is transparent.
– The on-off and bipolar are not transparent (nontransparent).

Desired Properties of Line Codes
1.
Transmission bandwidth: as small as possible
2.
Power efficiency: for a specific bandwidth and detection error
rate, transmitted power should be as small as possible.
3.
Error detection and correction capability: as strong as possible
4.
Favorable power spectral density: desirable to have zero PSD at
(dc), called DC null, because of ac coupling requires this. If at
dc, ω = 0 , PSD ≠ 0 , then dc wanders in the pulse stream,
which is not desired.
5.
Adequate timing content: should be possible to extract the
clock signal (timing information).

PSD of Various Line Codes
• Consider a general PAM signal, as shown in
Figure 7.4 (b):
Tb = 1
t = kTb
Rb
Rb
– the k th pulse in the pulse train y (t ) = ak p (t )
• p (t): the basic pulse
• P (ω) [P(f)]: Fourier spectrum of p (t)
• a k: arbitrary and random
– The on-off, polar, bipolar line codes are all special
cases of the general pulse train y(t), a k = 0, +1, -1

Then for different p(t), ⇒ different PSD

“Polar Signaling is not bandwidth efficient.”
Comment 2:
“No error-detection or error-correction
capability.”
Comment 3:
“Non-zero PSD at dc( ω = 0)”
⇒ This will rule out the use of ac coupling in transmission.

On-off Signaling
• This is reasonable since, as shown in Fig. 7.2,
an on-off signal can be expressed as the sum of
a polar and a periodic component
• Comment 1: For a given transmitted power, it
is less immune to noise interference.
– Q Noise immunity ∝ difference of amplitudes
representing binary 0 and 1.
– If a pulse of amplitude 1 or –1 has energy E, then a
pulse of amplitude 2 has energy (2)2E = 4E.

Realizability
• A physically realizable system, h(t), must be causal,
i.e., h(t) = 0 , for t < 0. (The n.c. & s.c.)
• In the frequency domain, the n.c. & s.c. is known as
Paley-Wiener criterion

∫
dω < ∞
• Note that, for a physically realizable system, H(ω) may
be zero at some discrete frequencies.
But, it cannot be zero over any finite band
• So, ideal filters are clearly unrealizable.
Dr. Shi
Lathi & Ding-Digital Commun
55
• From this point of view, the vestigial spectrum P(ω) is
unrealizable.
• However, since the vestigial roll-off characteristic is
gradual, it can be more closely approximated by a
practical filter.
• One family of spectra that satisfies the Nyquist
criterion is

• Use polar signaling
1 ↔ p (t )
0 ↔ − p (t )
• The received signal is sampled at t = nTb
p(t) = 0 for all n except n= 0,1.
• Clearly, such a pulse causes zero ISI with all the
pulses except the succeeding pulses.

• Consider two such successive pulses located at
0 and Tb.
– If both pulses are positive, the sample value at t = Tb
⇒ 2.
– If both pulses are negative, ⇒ -2
– If pulses are of opposite polarity, ⇒ 0
• Decision Rule: If the sample value at t = Tb is
• Positive ⇒ 1, 1
• Negative ⇒ 0, 0
• Zero ⇒
0, 1 or 1, 0

Use of Differential Coding
• For the controlled ISI method,
0-valued sample ⇒ 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 transition.
• An error may be propagated.
• Differential coding helps.
• In differential coding, “1” is transmitted by a pulse
identical to that used for the previous bit. “0” is
transmitted by a pulse negative to that used for the
previous bit.
• Useful in systems that have no sense of absolute
polarity. Fig 7.17

the sequence S enters the register and is returned as

new sequence FS again enters the register and is
returned as F 2 S , and so on. Hence,

Preamplifier and Equalizer
• A pulse train is attenuated and distorted by
transmission medium, say, dispersion caused by an
attenuation of high-frequency components.
• Restoration of high frequency components ⇒ increase
of channel noise
• Fortunately, digital signals are more robust.
– Considerable pulse dispersion can be tolerated
• Main concern:
Pulse dispersion ⇒ ISI
⇒ increase error probability in detection
Dr. Shi

Zero-Forcing Equalizer
• Detection decision is based solely on sample
values.
⇒ No need to eliminate ISI for all t.
All that is needed is to eliminate or minimize ISI
at their respective sampling instants only.
• This could be done by using the transversal-filter
equalizer, which forces the equalizer output pulse
to have zero values at the sampling (decisionmaking ) instant. (refer to the diagram in next slide)

instants.
Timing is necessary.
Three ways for synchronization:

2.
3.
Dr. Shi
Derivation from a primary or a secondary standard (a
master timing source exists, both transmitter and receiver
follow the master).
Transmitting a separate synchronizing signal (pilot clock)
Self synchronization (timing information is extracted from
the received signal itself).

Timing Extraction …
• Way 1:
Suitable for large volumes of data
high speed comm. Systems.
High cost.
• Way 2: Part of channel capacity is used to transmit
timing information.
Suitable for a large available capacity.
• Way 3: Very efficient.
• Examples:

Timing Jitter
• Small random deviation of the incoming pulses
from their ideal locations.
• Always present, even in the most sophisticated
communication systems.
• Jitter reduction is necessary about every 200
miles in a long digital link to keep the maximum
jitter within reasonable limits.

b) Because half the bits are transmitted by nopulse, there are, on the average, only half as

Pulse Shaping in
Multi-amplitude Case
• In general, it can be shown that the bandwidth
of an orthogonal M-ary scheme is M times that
of the binary scheme
– In an M-ary orthogonal scheme, the rate of
communication is increased by a factor of log 2 M at
the cost of an increase in transmission bandwidth by
a factor of M.

Digital Carrier Systems
• So far: Baseband digital systems
– Signals are transmitted directly without any shift in
frequency.
– Suitable for transmission over wires, cables, optical
fibers.
• Baseband signals cannot be transmitted over a
radio link or satellites.
– Since it needs impractically large size for antennas
– Modulation (Shifting signal spectrum to higher
frequencies is needed)

Digital Carrier Systems…
• A spectrum shift to higher frequencies is also
required when transmitting several messages
simultaneously by sharing the large bandwidth
of the transmission medium,

Modulation Types…
• Phase-Shift Keying (PSK)
m(t ) : polar Signal
1 ↔ p(t) cos(ωct),0 ↔ − p(t) cos(ωct) = p(t) cos(π −ωct) = p(t) cos(ωct −π )

Modulation Types…
• Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK)
– Frequency is modulation by the base band signal.
1 ↔ ω c1 ,0 ↔ ω c0
– Information bit resides in the carrier frequency.

AM Signal
• Motivation:
– Requirements of a carrier in frequency and phase
synchronism with carrier at the transmitter is too
sophisticated and quite costly
– Sending the carrier ⇒ a. eases the situation
b. requires more power in
transmission
c. suitable for broadcasting

Demodulation of PSK
• Cannot be demodulated non-coherently
(envelope detection).
– Since, envelope is the same for 0 and 1
• Can be demodulated coherently.
• PSK may be demodulated non-coherently if use:
Differential coherent PSK (DPSK)

Differential Encoding
• Differential coding:
– “1”  encoded by the same pulse used to encode
the previous data bit no transition
– “0”  encoded by the negative of pulse used to
encode the previous data bit transition
• Figure 7.30 (a)
• Modulated signal consists of pulses ± A cos(ω ct )
with a possible sign ambiguity
