Behavioural Synthesis of an Adaptive Viterbi Decoder
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of a hardware implementation of a Viterbi decoder from a behavioural specification is discussed. This is applied to a parallelized version of a BCH decoder. A parameterizable high-level VHDL model of the parallel decoder has been developed. Scalability of the parallel decoder in hardware is demonstrated. An extension of this technique to an adaptive decoder is discussed.
