convolutional code

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

convolutional code

A type of channel coding that adds patterns of redundancy to the data in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for more accurate decoding at the receiving end. The Viterbi algorithm is used to decode a particular type of convolutional code. See Viterbi decoder.


convolutional code [‚kän·vəlü·shən·əl ′kōd]
(communications)
An error-correcting code that processses incoming bits serially rather than in large blocks.

Convolutional code [5] is a forward error correction (FEC) code, which allows a receiver to recover the corrupted received data by exploiting the redundancy in the encoded data stream.
Comtech AHA's products include the AHA4540, a single chip Turbo Product Code encoder/decoder that achieves up to 155 Mbps throughput and up to 2-4 dB improvement over conventional FEC schemes, such as Reed-Solomon or convolutional codes.
