2B1Q

Two-binary, one-quaternary (2B1Q) is a

bits (2B) into one quaternary symbol (1Q). Symbol rate is half of data rate
.

A competing encoding technique in the ISDN basic rate U interface, mainly used in Europe, is 4B3T.

Encoding

To minimize

dibits) are assigned to voltage levels according to a Gray code
, as follows:

Dibit
Signal level
10 +450 mV
11 +150 mV
01 −150 mV
00 −450 mV

If the voltage is misread as an adjacent level, this causes only a 1-bit error in the decoded data. 2B1Q code is not

DC-balanced
