1. no use of DC & large components @ low freq. in the spectrum
2. small bandwidth
3. protection against noise
4. good sync. between the receiver & transmitter clocks
5. no necesity for the receiving device to determine the absolute polarity of the signal
We studied the following signals: Non Return to Zero, Differential Non Return to Zero (Inverted), Manchester, Differential Manchester, Miller & 4 levels encoding.
So the question is: At what of the 5 criterions is each encoding better (and at what worse)? Why is that?
As an example I can say that differential signals gain an advantage in the 5th criterion as they are not affected by polarity problems.Or that Manchester is better than NRZ because it has no DC component & has many transitions, but has a larger bandwidth and worst protection against noise.
Please do explain your answer :)
Thanks!
