About this title

Synopsis:

A nontheoretical book/disk guide to the error coding process, with step-by-step instructions on selecting code for a particular application, designing coders and decoders, and implementing frequently used codes for error correction. Contains chapters on block and cyclic codes, convolutional codes, Viterbia decoding, and sequential coding, with descriptions, worked examples, and a brief review of necessary math. The accompanying disk contains software for bch and other block codes and for convolutional codes. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From the Back Cover:

At last, the complexities of error coding are made simple If you don't happen to be an abstract mathematician, it's all too easy to get lost in the maze of error correction coding thats is a crucial component of any signal processing or communications system. Now this first-of-it-kind, non-theoretical guide clearly explains the often complex error coding process. You'll find complete step-by-step instructions on how to: Select the most appropriate code for your particular application; Design the corresponding coders and decoders; Implement many of the most well-known and frequently used codes for error correction. Plus, you'll have access to ready-to-use C and C++ programs for generating hundreds of codes for error detection and correction on the accompanying disk. The book's exceptionally clear descriptions of each code are reinformed by an array of worked-out examples and a brief review of only the necessary math where applicable. There has never been a more illuminating or practical treatment of this always challenging and occasionally perplexing area.
