Data

Algorithms
NRZ-L:
(unipolar or polar) signal = data

NRZ-M, NRZ-I: (diff, unipolar or polar)

if data == 1 signal = !signal if data == 0 signal = signal

NRZ-S: (diff, unipolar or polar)

if data == 0 signal = !signal if data == 1 signal = signal

RZ:

(unipolar or polar)

Bipolar RZ:
(diff) Start of Bit Time: if data == 1 signal = !last_1_signal if data == 0 signal = 0 Then: signal = 0

Start of Bit Time: signal = data Then: signal = 0

Pulse Time:

(unipolar or polar)

Manchester:
(polar) Start of Bit Time: signal = data Bit Time: signal = !signal

Biphase-M:

(diff, polar)

Biphase-S:

(diff, polar)

Differential Manchester:
(diff, polar) Start of Bit Time: if data == 0 signal = !signal if data == 1 signal = signal Bit Time: signal = !signal

Start of Bit Time: signal = 0 Bit Time: if Data == 1 signal = 1 Bit Time: signal = 1

Start of Bit Time: signal = !signal Bit Time: if data == 1 signal = !signal if data == 0 signal = signal

Start of Bit Time: signal = !signal Bit Time: if data == 0 signal = !signal if data == 1 signal = signal
