ii. Return To Zero encoding technique
The return to zero encoding technique is one which uses three values that is to
say positive, negative and and zero ensuring that there is a signal transition in
each bit hence ensuring synchronization.
The signal does not change between the bits but during the bits
Return to Zero encoding has the following characteristics
• Three levels of i.e positive, negative and zero
• Bit rate is double than that of data rate
• No DC component
• Good synchronization

Alternate Mark Inversion is commonly used for long distance communication but
it has a synchronization problem when a long sequence of 0s is present in the
data

Sampling
This is the first step in pulse code modulation
The analog signal is sampled at equal time interval Ts. The inverse of a sampling
interval is called sampling rate or sampling frequency fs
The sampling interval or sampling frequency can be mathematically expressed as

𝑓𝑠 = 𝑇𝑠
We have three sampling methods and these include
1. Ideal sampling
2. Natural sampling
3. Flat top sampling
