Abstract
A binary signal encoding technique for reducing the amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by the transmission of high-speed binary signals over an unshielded twisted pair of conductors. Duobinary modulation, combined with low-pass filtering to confine the signals' frequency spectrum, and stop-band filtering to reduce critically high spectral lines, results in an acceptably low level of electromagnetic emission from the twisted pair. Moreover, duobinary modulation and stop-band filtering to reduce spectral lines avoids the need for signal scrambling to reach acceptable radiation levels by spreading the signal energy across the frequency spectrum.
