The invention relates to the field of
signal transmission, and particularly relates to an N-ary based
digital signal transmission method. The N-ary based
digital signal transmission method comprises the steps of dividing signals into reference signals and data signals, setting the amplitude range of the data signals to be Fmin-Fmax, transmitting the reference signals according to preset
fixed frequency and preset fixed amplitude FA, wherein the fixed amplitude FA=Fmin+(Fmax-Fmin ) / N+Epsilon, and the Epsilon is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to (Fmax-Fmin) / N; and transmitting the data signals according to the same frequency as the reference signals, wherein the amplitude of the data signals is set to be Fn=FA+(n-1)[(Fmax-Fmin) / N]+
delta according to a number n to be transmitted at the same time, the n is greater than or equal to 0 and less than N, the N is a natural number which is greater than 2, the
delta is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to (Fmax-Fmin) / N, and the FA does not equal to 0. The transmission efficiency of the method provided by the invention on a
transmission line is a plurality of times of the transmission efficiency of a binary
system, thereby greatly improving the
signal transmission efficiency. Meanwhile, the signals are extracted by adopting a differential mode, the
signal to
noise ratio in the signal transmission process is improved, the anti-interference ability is improved, and various transmitting
modes such that the reference signals and the data signals are transmitted synchronously, at intervals and the like can be adopted selectively in the transmission process.
