Abstract

An asynchronous transmission system for binary-coded information is disclosed. According to this system, in a transmitting terminal (A), when successive data of the same code in a set of asynchronous data lasts for a predetermined period of time (T.sub.1), a refresh pulse, the polarity of which is opposite to that of the successive data, is added to a transmission signal. However, the addition of such a refresh pulse to the transmission signal is inhibited for a predetermined period of time (T.sub.2) to allow for a change of data. In a receiving terminal (B), a pulse, the width of which is larger or equal to a minimum period of data, and a pulse, the width of which is smaller than or equal to a pulse-width (T.sub.0) of a refresh pulse, can be discriminated and removed by a pulse-width discrimination circuit. As a result, the refresh pulse is not present in the output signal of the pulse-width discrimination circuit. Thus, the original asynchronous data is restored.
