Unipolar Return to Zero RZ RZ

In this type of unipolar signaling, a High in data, though represented by a Mark pulse, its duration T0 is less than the symbol bit duration. Half of the bit duration remains high but it immediately returns to zero and shows the absence of pulse during the remaining half of the bit duration.

It is clearly understood with the help of the following figure.

Advantages

The advantages of Unipolar RZ are −

  • It is simple.
  • The spectral line present at the symbol rate can be used as a clock.

Disadvantages

The disadvantages of Unipolar RZ are −

  • No error correction.
  • Occupies twice the bandwidth as unipolar NRZ.
  • The signal droop is caused at the places where signal is non-zero at 0 Hz.
