The design of a programmable convolutional encoder using VHDL and an FPGA

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === Convolutional encoding is a Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique used in continuous one-way and real time communication links. It can provide substantial improvement in bit error rates so that small, low power, inexpensive transmitters c...
