Abstract

An encoding/decoding method for a signal having at least two different positive and negative levels. Each symbol representing, for instance, two binary bits is encoded in each symbol period. During each symbol period, the encoded signal transitions between a level of one polarity to a level in the opposite polarity. The levels and transitions are selected so that there is no DC component. The frequency spectrum is shifted away from the lower frequencies with this encoding.
