So, what does this code do?

Provides a simple way of encoding arbitary binary sequences without ever having long periods where there is all one voltage, thus losing clock synchronization. Also ensures that the DC component of the encoded signal is zero. -- The Anome 12:13, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Manchester code = bi-phase mark code ?

Several articles that I read (perhaps originating from the same source) use bi-phase code and Manchester code as two equivalent terms for the same encoding. The description of "Biphase Mark Coding" here on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biphase_Mark_Code) seems to confirm this. A link "see also ..." on this page might be useful (or an explanation where the difference lies).

I think the Manchester graph is wrong. The correct bits or drawing should be opposite depending on how you look at it. In Manchester Encoding, a 1-bit transits from negative to positive and vice versa for 0-bit.

Actually there are two types of bit representations and the page explains that. To avoid ambiguity, I have specified the type of encoding displayed on the image. Natrij 23:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
