Encoding methods and Modulation schemes 25.P.1 Computers use digital signalling‚ digitals signals are represented by the base 2 numbering system “Binary”. Binary bits are shown as 1 or 0‚ where 1 means ON and 0 means OFF. In a network where digital devices exist‚ digital signalling will be used. Dependant upon the encoding method used‚ a high voltage on a communications medium can represent a logical 1 and a low voltage of can represent a logical 0. Different methods of encoding exist these
