Single chip variable rate viterbi decoder of constraint length K = 5

This thesis presents a fully self-testable integrated circuit (IC) variable-rate Viterbi decoder of constraint length K = 5. The chip is designed to decode convolutional codes ranging from rate 7/8 to 1/4, derived from the same rate 1/2 mother code. The architecture of the Viterbi decoder is bit-...
