Convolutional codes are used in communication systems for error correction. They allow to have a very low Bit Error Rate (BER) and are preferably used in the case of noisy channels.
These codes are often implemented in concatenation with a hard-decision code, such as Reed Solomon.
Definitions
A convolutional code is specified by:
-
n
: number of output bits -
k
: number of input bits -
m
: number of registers -
Gi
: then
generator polynomials
Coder
Non-recursive encoder
The following picture shows a (2, 1, 3) convolutional encoder with generator polynomials G1 = 111 and G2 = 101 :
The graph of the convolutional encoder is presented in the following picture :
