Line coding converts a sequence of bits to a digital signal.
• At the sender, digital data are encoded into a digital signal
• At the receiver, the digital data are recreated by decoding the digital signal.

4.4.1 Line Coding4.4.1 Line Coding
Let S be the number of signals per second. This is baud rate.
The relationship between bandwidth, N-bps, and baud rate, S-signals/sec, is:
S = c * N * 1/r
The value c is the case factor: 0 < c <=1
A signal is carrying data in which one data element is encoded as one signal element (r = 1).
If the bit rate is 100 kbps, what is the average value of the baud rate if c is ½ (the average value between 0 and 1)?

4.2.1 Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)4.2.1 Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
A PCM encoder has three steps:
• Sampling• Encoding • Quantizing
4.68
Figure 4.21: Components of PCM encoder
Sampling
Sampling – a snapshot of the analog signal is recorded at regular time intervals.
If the time interval is short, the digital signal is a good estimate of the original analog signal.
4.70
Figure 4.22: An example sampling method for PCM
Nyquist Theorem
To reproduce the original analog signal, one necessary condition is that the sampling rate must be twice the highest frequency of the analog signal.

Example 4.12
4.86
What is the SNRdB in the example of Figure 4.26?
Example 4.12
SolutionWe can use the formula to find the quantization. We have eight levels and 3 bits per sample, so SNRdB = 6.02(3) + 1.76 = 19.82 dB. Increasing the number of levels increases the SNR.
