Abstract

Abstract A parallel pulse transmission system, wherein the sending side converts original signals into line coded signals of a block coding type (mBnB line codes, m/2≧2/3, n≧3) and transmits them after aligning the timings of the blocks receiving side. The regenerates of the systems transmitted line codes and thereafter, aligns the timings of blocks of the line codes.
