800 Mbit/s Digital Transmission System Over Coaxial Cable

800 Mbit/s digital transmission systems, using nonredundant three-level and four-level codes, have been studied as a means of providing an economically attractive digital transmission system. These systems have been designed to be compatible with a 60 MHz analog system in repeater spacing and repeater size, so as to be easily introduced into the existing network. These systems with 11 520 telephone channels, exceed the 60 MHz analog system in both capacity and economy. Due to repeater construction factors, it became clear that the three-level code is more suitable. This paper describes the design and performance of 800 Mbit/s digital transmission systems and repeaters.
