In summary, the conversation discusses the substitution of zeros in a picture for High density bipolar scrambling. The rules state that there should be a sequence of 8 zeros after a negative pulse and an even number of ones, but in this particular picture, there is a negative pulse before the sequence of 8 zeros and an odd number of zeros. This is a common occurrence in pictures and the speaker is seeking clarification on why this is done.

Hey guys. Good night to everybody. I'm just trying to understand why the substitution in this picture was made like this(High density bipolar scrambling) of zeros:

The rules state that the sequence of 8 zeros that go after a negative pulse and an even number of ones since the last substitution must be: +00+ and what's being done instead at the beginning of the second signal is 000- which corresponds to an odd number of zeros and a negative pulse before the sequence of 8 zeros. This is happening at the beggining of the signal at the bottom of the picture. This also happens in practically all pictures I've seen.
Could anybody tell me why is this done?
Thanks a lot!
I'm sorry if this was the wrong forum to post this.

I mean, there are two ones before the sequence of zeros. What´s going on? Does not having a substitution mean that the number of zeros is odd?
 

1. What is High Density Bipolar- 3 Zeros?

High Density Bipolar-3 Zeros, also known as HDB3, is a coding technique used in digital communication systems to reduce the number of consecutive zeros in a data stream. It is commonly used in telecommunication networks and is known for its ability to minimize errors and improve data transmission efficiency.

2. How does HDB3 encoding work?

HDB3 encoding works by replacing consecutive zeros with a sequence of four symbols, either "+00-" or "-00+". This ensures that there are no more than two consecutive zeros in the data stream, which helps to maintain synchronization and reduce errors. The sequence of symbols is determined by a set of rules based on the previous symbols in the data stream.

3. What are the advantages of using HDB3 encoding?

There are several advantages to using HDB3 encoding. Firstly, it reduces the number of consecutive zeros in a data stream, which helps to maintain synchronization and minimize errors. Additionally, it is a relatively simple and efficient coding technique, making it easy to implement in telecommunication systems. HDB3 encoding also has a higher data transmission rate compared to other coding techniques.

4. What are the limitations of HDB3 encoding?

While HDB3 encoding has many advantages, it also has some limitations. One limitation is that it is only suitable for bipolar signals, meaning that the data stream can only contain positive and negative values. Additionally, HDB3 encoding does not provide any error correction, so it may not be suitable for applications that require high levels of data integrity.

5. How is HDB3 different from other coding techniques?

HDB3 is different from other coding techniques in several ways. Unlike other techniques that use fixed patterns to encode data, HDB3 uses a set of rules to determine the sequence of symbols used to represent zeros. This allows for more efficient data transmission and better error control. Additionally, HDB3 is specifically designed to reduce the number of consecutive zeros in a data stream, making it a popular choice for telecommunication systems.
