Abstract

In order to test coding rule infraction test units for AMI code which are employed for surveillance of digital transmission circuits, an arrangement is provided which generates quasi-random sequences in the AMI code without employing a spur line short-circuited at its end. Previously, no coding rule infractions could be mixed into the generated signals with such a spur line usually employed for generating signals in the AMI code. With the disclosed arrangement a generator for binary quasi-random sequences is provided to whose output one input of a differential amplifier arrangement is directly connected. Another input of the differential amplifier arrangement is connected via a series connection of an exclusive OR element and a time-delay element. Noise pulses which lead to coding rule infractions in the generated output signals can be mixed in via the other input of the exclusive OR element.
