Method and apparatus for encoding mb810 line code with the characteristics of minimum bandwidth and dc-free

Abstract

A coding method for converting m-bit input data into n-bit codeword satisfying DC-free and minimum bandwidth characteristics that includes the following: Select the number of input bits m and the number of output bits n for an (m,n) block code. Accumulate a sufficient number of BUDA (binary unit DSV and ASV) cells to form a BUDA stack for derivation of the state diagram. Pick one node as a state, and secure at least 2{circumflex over ( )}m exit paths of an n-hop length, and denote each terminating node of each path as another state. Start with a new state and repeat the previous step. If the stack needs to be expanded to complete the state diagram, add more cells to the stack either horizontally or vertically as appropriate. Reduce the number of states as possible with all transition paths terminating on one of the arranged states. At each state, arrange the mapping table as an input m-bit combination to an output n-bit combination. As necessary, plot the power spectrum of the coded sequence with varying input bit probability, and choose the mapping that generates the most desirable power spectral properties.
