| | Transformerless bipolar converter - United States Patent 4,419,757 |
 | | Unipolar transmission can be characterized as the transmission of a logical 1 by means of a pulse at one voltage level and a logical 0, by means of a pulse at a negative voltage level of the same magnitude. |
 | | In contrast, in bipolar transmission, one data sense, e.g., the logical 1 is represented by the absence of a pulse, i.e., by some reference voltage, conveniently 0 volts, and the other data sense is represented by the presence of a pulse which alternates between positive and negative levels of like magnitude. |
 | | Waveform (C) shows the binary data stream of waveform (A) in bipolar format in which logical 0 bits are coded alternately as positive and negative voltage levels of one-volt magnitude and all logical 1 bits are coded at a reference level of zero volts. |
