## Abstract

A signal transceiving system and a signal receiver thereof are provided. The signal transceiving system includes a signal transmitter. The signal transmitter includes a first data buffer, a comparator, and an encoder. The first data buffer receives transmitted data and provides previously transmitted data. The comparator receives currently transmitted data and receives the previously transmitted data. The comparator compares, in a first mode, the previously transmitted data with the currently transmitted data to generate a data variation information. The encoder generates, in the first mode, at least one index value and a corresponding instruction signal according to the data variation information. The signal transmitter sends the at least one index value which is a serial signal and the instruction signal to a signal receiver.
