Abstract

An analytic approximation to the probability of error per bit for the Viterbi maximum likelihood decoder of convolutional codes which employs an arbitrary modem is presented. The effect of limited path memory of the decoder on performance is determined. The method is applied in particular to the quantized binary frequency-shift-keying modem. This may be useful for entry direct links.
