Merits and Demerits of Different waveforms The on-off pulse is attractive from the point of view of simplicity of terminal apparatus It has several disadvantages For a given transmitted power it is less immune to noise than the polar scheme It has a non zero PSD at DC so ac coupling is required during transmission Transmission bandwidth is excessive On-off signaling has no error detection or correction capability It is not transparent, i.e. long string of zero creates problem in timing extraction
Merits and Demerits of Different waveforms Advantages of polar signaling Polar signaling is more efficient than on-off signaling For a given transmitted power polar signaling is more efficient It is transparent Disadvantages No discrete clock frequency component in a polar signaling
Merits and Demerits of Different waveforms Advantages of bipolar signaling Its spectrum has a DC null Its bandwidth is not so excessive It has single error detection capability It has discrete component of clock frequency when it is rectified Disadvantages A bipolar signaling requires twice as much power as that required for a polar signaling It is not transparent i.e. long string of zero creates problem in timing extraction

High Density Bipolar (HDB) Signaling The problem of nontransparancy in bipolar signaling is eliminated by adding pulses when no. of consecutive ‘0’s exceeds n. Such a modified coding is designated as high density bipolar coding, HDBn , where n can take on any value 1, 2, 3 ….and so on. The most important of the HDB codes is HDB3. The basic idea is: When no. of binary “ 0s ” are more than n n+1 “ 0s ” are replaced by one of the special sequences (in case of n=3) “ 000V ” or “ 100V ”, depending on no. of “ 1 ” before the n+1 0s When no. of “ 1 ” is odd, the sequence is “ 000V ” and when the no. of “ 1 ” is even, the sequence is “ 100V ” The “ V ” bit is encoded by a pulse of such a polarity as to violate the bipolar rule “ 1 ” bit in “ 100V ” is encoded by a pulse of polarity following the bipolar rule
