Abstract:
An encoded binary signal which is self clocking and absolute phasing is provided by a method which provides a first pulse manifesting a first binary value having all transitions of the same predetermined polarity at bit interval boundaries and transitions of the opposite polarity intermediate the bit interval boundaries. A second pulse is provided having no transitions intermediate the interval boundaries and at least one transition in coincidence with one interval boundary thereof having the same predetermined polarity, the second pulse manifesting a second binary value. The presence or absence of a transition within a bit interval determines the binary value manifested by the pulse occuring in that interval and the time of occurrence of all transitions of the predetermined polarity identifies the time of occurrence of the interval boundaries of the signal.
