Abstract

This paper briefly reviews the concatenated Reed-Solomon (RS) Viterbi coding system. Then the performance of the system is analyzed and results are derived with a new simple approach. We present a functional model for the input RS symbol error probability a. Based on this new functional model, we compute the performance of a concatenated system in terms of RS word error probability, output RS symbol error probability, bit error probability due to decoding failure, and bit error probability due to decoding error. Finaily we analyze the effects of the noisy carrier reference and the slow fading on the system performance.
