What is NRZ?
Non-return-to-zero: the most basic signaling scheme, sending 1 bit per symbol with two voltage levels.

With the same voltage swing, two-level NRZ has the full swing between 0 and 1, but four-level PAM4 leaves only about one third of it between adjacent levels.
Why does forward error correction (FEC) become more importa…Conventional NRZ uses two voltage levels to send 1 bit per symbol.
