Abstract
An encoder for suppression of a consecutive identical digit in a digital transmission system has been found for facilitating the reproduction of a clock signal for regenerating reception data, and keeping the average signal level constant. According to the present invention, a single bit (x) is inserted for every predetermined number (m) of input digits, and said insertion bit is a complement of a digit of previous k bits where k is an integer satisfying 1.ltoreq.k.ltoreq.m. Preferably, the value k is 1. The present invention is useful for digital communication higher than 100 Mbits/second, in particular, in optical communication.
