Abstract
A data system for transmitting multi-state data streams between a data transmitting station (1,10) and a data receiving station (2), coupled together by a data transmission line (3). Associated with the data transmitting station (1,10) is an encoder (10) for encoding the data stream prior to transmission and associated with the data receiving station (2) is a decoder (23,24) for decoding the received signals. The encoder (10) comprises signal generating means (15,16,17) which selectively generates a first waveform (FIG. 2(b) (i)) corresponding to the integral of a positive pulse having a negative d.c. offset and a second waveform (FIG. 2(b) (ii)) corresponding to the integral of a negative pulse having a positive d.c. offset. The time average of each waveform and its associated d.c. offsets is substantially zero. The encoder (10) further comprises means (18) for reading the multi-state data stream and for outputting a composite waveform onto the data transmission line (3) consisting of a respective combination of the first and second waveforms for each state read from the multistate data stream. The decoder (23,24) comprises a differentiating circuit.
