Abstract

An improved multilevel code transmission system for transmission of a data signal in the form of an N-level code signal based on a partial response shaping employs a special differential coding prior to partial response shaping on the transmitter side and, on the receiver side subsequent to partial response decoding, a differential decoding corresponding to the differential coding. The system is characterized in that each pair of input, parallel binary codes is so arranged that only the most significant bit is different from each other and the remaining bits are represented by the same binary codes, and in that only the most significant bit is affected by the differential coding and decoding.
