 High-Density Bipolar (HDB) Signaling
The HDB scheme is an ITU standard. In this scheme the
problem of nontransparency in bipolar signaling is eliminated by
adding pulses when the number of consecutive 0s exceeds N.

 Pulse Shaping
The pulse shape p(t) effect the PSD Sy( f ) more than the choice
of line code.
Intersymbol Interference (ISI): Spreading of a pulse beyond its
allocated time interval Tb will cause it to interfere with
neighboring pulses.

 Scrambling
Scrambler tends to make the data more random by removing
long strings of 1s and 0s. Removing long 0s or 1s help in timing
extraction. However, the main purpose of scrambling is to
prevent unauthorized access to the data.

 Scrambling Example
The data stream 101010100000111 is fed to the scrambler.
Find the scrambler output T, assuming the initial content of the
registers to be zero.

 Digital Receivers and Regenerative
Repeaters
Tasks of Receivers or repeaters:
1. Reshaping incoming pulses by means of an equalizer.
2. Extracting the timing information required to sample
incoming pulses.
3. Making symbol detection decisions based on the pulse
samples.
 Time Extraction
Three general methods of synchronization
1- Derivation from a primary or a secondary standard
(transmitter and receiver slaved to a master timing source).
2- Transmitting a separate synchronizing signal (pilot clock)
3- Self-synchronization, where the timing information is
extracted from the received signal itself.

 PAM: M-ARY Baseband Signaling for
Higher Data Rate
The information IM transmitted by an M-ary symbol is

= log 2 bits

The transmitted power increases as M2.

 Example
Determine the PSD of the quaternary (4-ary) baseband signaling
when the message bits 1 and 0 are equally likely.
 Digital Carrier Systems
In transmitting and receiving digital carrier signals, we need a
modulator and demodulator to transmit and receive data. The
two devices, modulator and demodulator are usually packaged
in one unit called a modem for two-way (duplex)
communication.

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)

(a) The carrier cos ct.
(b) The modulating signal m(t).

 Differential PSK (DPSK)
DPSK allows noncoherent demodulation at the receiver.
The transmitter encodes the information data into the phase
difference k - k-1. For example a phase difference of zero
represent 0 whereas a phase difference of signifies 1.

 M-Ary Digital Carrier Modulation
Higher bit rate transmission can be achieved by either reducing
Tb or by applying M-ary signaling; the first option requires more
bandwidth; the second requires more power to keep the error bit
rate within acceptable level.

M-ary shift keying can send Log2 M bits each time by

transmitting any one of M signals.

bandwidth of the FSK modulation.

Large leads to bandwidth waste, whereas small is prone
to detection error due to transmission noise interference.

To minimize error detection the choice of should be large

enough to make the FSK modulating signals 2

 Comparison between ASK and FSK
FSK does not require increase in power but the bandwidth
increase linearly with M (compared with binary FSK or M-ary
ASK).

ASK does not require increase in bandwidth but the power

increase linearly with M.
