Homework 4

Due date and weights

This is a 30-point assignment due on Monday 14 March, 2011. You may turn your solution in at class or submit via moodle.

In this homework you will illustrate some of the coding techniques described in the coding binary bits lecture. For the first problem it will probably be easiest to draw your answer on lined paper.

Problem 1

Draw the encodings (binary levels) of sending the following seven-bit sequence 0110101 using the following four encoding schemes.

• NRZ
• RZ
• Manchester
• Differential Manchester

Problem 2

Suppose the 32-bit sequence 00111111 00001111 11110000 00111111 is to be transmitted though a communications channel using bit stuffing after 6 bits of 1's. Write the bit sequence that will actually be tranmitted using this encoding scheme.

Problem 3

Suppose the 32-bit sequence 00111111 00001111 11110000 00111111 is to be transmitted though a communications channel using 8b/10b. Write the bit sequence that will actually be tranmitted using this encoding scheme.

Problem 4

Suppose the first three letters of your last name are going to get transmitted through a RS232 channel at 9600 baud using 7 data bits, even parity, and 1.5 stop bits. Draw the voltage levels used in this trasmission. Be sure to indicidate the length (in time) of at least one of the bits.
