Harvard biphase

Harvard biphase is a magnetic run length code for encoding magnetic tape.[1] It is one of the formats employed in forming the digital bits of logic one and logic zero, along with non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and bipolar-return-to-zero (RZ) formats.[2] Each bit in the Harvard biphase format undergoes change at its trailing edge and this transpires either from high to zero or zero to high independently of its value.[2]
