This document discusses digital data transmission, line coding, and pulse shaping. It covers several key topics: - Digital data transmission involves converting analog signals like voice or images to binary digits for transmission and reconverting them at the receiving end. This allows for clearer, faster transmission using less bandwidth. - There are two main transmission modes: parallel transmits multiple bits at once for higher speed, while serial transmits one bit at a time to reduce costs. Conversion is needed between parallel and serial interfaces. - Line coding converts digital bits to voltage levels for transmission. Common schemes include NRZ, RZ, Manchester, AMI, and pseudoternary. - Pulse shaping filters transmitted pulses to limit
