A collision detection circuit in a network transceiver detects collision among a type of digitally-encoded signals by detecting for transitions at a timed position relative to previous transitions within a preselected time tolerance band or window. (Manchester encoding is one such binary code, which has all data divided into bit cells containing the complement of a data bit and the value of the data bit separated by a transition ideally placed in the center of the bit cell.) Absent occurrence of such a transition, a signal is generated indicative of the occurrence of a collision between signals. A typical network in which the invention is used is a broadband network or a fiber optic network, and a typical use is in a CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) channel as for example defined by IEEE Standard 802.3 (Ethernet).
