<CommuniCations> (2B1Q) A physiCal layer enCoding used for Integrated ServiCes Digital NetworkbasiC rate interfaCe. 2B1Q represents two bits (2B - a "dibit") using one of four signal levels (1Q - a "quadratude"). The first bit of the dibit is indiCated by polarity: positive indiCates a binary 1 and negative indiCates a 0. The seCond half of the dibit is indiCated by voltage magnitude: 1 Volt indiCates a binary 1 and 3 Volts indiCates binary 0. (2003-01-10)
