Some parameters like distance, transmission media, bit rate and bandwidth; defines the performance of a line coding technique. In this paper, the design and implementation of an educational tool is widely analyzed. The tool described here can synthesized a lot of line codes, because the main goal of this work is to emphasize the advantages of each line code.

The digital signal power spectrum of smart IoT devices is greatly needed to provide communication support. The line codes play a significant role in data bit transmission in digital communication. The existing line-coding techniques are designed for traditional computing network technology and power spectrum density to translate data bits into a signal using various line code waveforms. The existing line-code techniques have multiple kinds of issues, such as the utilization of bandwidth, connection synchronization (CS), the direct current (DC) component, and power spectrum density (PSD). These highlighted issues are not adequate in IoT devices in smart cities due to their small size.

The choice of a line code is one of the most important aspects in the design of a communications system, as the line code determines the complexity, and thus also the cost, of several circuits in the system. It has become known in recent years that a multilevel line code is preferable to a binary code in cases where high-speed communications are desired.

Objectives 1) Learn about line coding techniques by generating the codes using the LINE-CODE ENCODER and DECODER modules in the lab. 2) Display line coding techniques on oscilloscope in time and frequency domains (Spectrum) and make a comparison among these different techniques using TTL as a reference signal. 3) Using snap shot method to display line coding techniques. 4) Link the theory that you studied in lecture with the practical. 5) Observe the effect of the 180 phase shift of these techniques. Equipment Required Sequence Generator (01), Line-code Encoder (01), Buffer Amplifier (01), and Line-code Decoder. Essential Reading 1) Watch the video, read the introduction, read the tutorial questions, and read any necessary data sheets Introduction This ‘experiment’ is tutorial in nature, and serves to introduce two new modules (Line-code Encoder and Line-code Decoder). In your course work you should have covered the topic of line coding at whatever level is appropriate for you. TIMS has a pair of modules, one of which can perform a number of line code transformations on a binary TTL sequence. The other performs decoding. A- Why line coding? There are many reasons for using line coding. Each of the line codes you will be examining offers one or more of the following advantages: Spectrum shaping and relocation without modulation or filtering. This is important in telephone line applications, for example, where the transfer characteristic has heavy attenuation below 300 Hz. Bit clock recovery can be simplified.

  • Line Code and Bit-Clock Regeneration Line Codes the Following Page Gives a Rough Overview About Line Coding and Data Coding Techniques
    Line code and bit-clock regeneration Line Codes The following page gives a rough overview about line coding and data coding techniques. These describe how a certain data channel has access to a physical medium beside other data channels. Line Coding Basics Transmission of serial data over any distance, be it a twisted pair, fiber optic link, coaxial cable, etc., requires maintenance of the data as it is transmitted through repeaters, echo chancellors and other electronically equipment. The data integrity must be maintained through data reconstruction, with proper timing, and retransmitted. Line codes were created to facilitate this maintenance. In selecting a particular line coding scheme some considerations must be made, as not all line codes adequately provide the all important synchronization between transmitter and receiver. Other considerations for line code selection are noise and interference levels, error detection and error checking, implementation requirements, and the available bandwidth. Unipolar Coding The most basic transmission code is unipolar or unbalanced coding. In this scheme each discrete variable is transmitted with a different assigned level, 0V and for example +2.5V. But this holds a number of disadvantages: The average power is two times other bipolar codes The coded signal contains DC and low frequency components. When long strings of zeros are present, a DC or baseline wander occurs. This results in loss of timing and data because a receiver/repeater cannot optimally discriminate ones and zeros. Repeaters/receivers require a minimum pulse density for proper timing extraction. Long strings of ones or zeros contain no timing information and lead to timing jitter (when a clock recovery is used) and possible loss of synchronization.
