Patent ID: 8089860

Claim:
A data transmission system, comprising: a data converter converting N-bit first data to be transmitted into M-bit second data, wherein M is greater than N, N is an even number and M is an odd number, and the second data is arranged in a minimum unit greater than 1, each minimum unit including at least successive data bits having the same phase; a transmitter compressing the second data prior to transmission via a channel having performance characteristics defining a minimum pulse width; a receiver receiving and de-compressing the transmitted second data; and a data restoring unit receiving the second data from the receiver and restoring the first data from the received second data, wherein following compression by the transmitter, a number of data bits in the second data equal to the minimum unit is transmitted during a time period (T) defined by an inverse of the minimum pulse width, and wherein an effective data transmission rate of the first data via the channel during the time period (T) is greater than the inverse of the minimum pulse width.
