To send same bit sequence, NRZ encoding require

  1. A.

    Same clock frequency as Manchester encoding

  2. B.

    Half the clock frequency as Manchester encoding

  3. C.

    Twice the clock frequency as Manchester encoding

  4. D.

    A clock frequency which depend on number of zeros and ones in the bit sequence

Attempted by 37 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

NRZ encoding requires half the clock frequency of Manchester encoding for the same bit sequence. This is because Manchester encoding mandates a voltage transition in the middle of every bit period, effectively doubling the required signal frequency compared to the data rate. In contrast, NRZ encoding maintains a constant voltage level throughout each bit period without mandatory transitions.
