Abstract
The performance of certain block codes on a gaussian channel is evaluated. Two of these codes, the BCH codes of rates 1/2 and 1/3 and length 128, are markedly superior to the constraint length 7 rate 1/2 convolutional code currently used for deep space missions. The algorithm used to derive these results provides a basis for a simple, almost optimum procedure for decoding these codes.
