AWGN Performance of Superorthogonal Convolutional Codes
Brian K. Butler · 2006
The bit error rate performance of superorthogonal convolutional codes is examined for the AWGN channel with an emphasis on graphical error rate curves. The little-noticed generalization of the class of superorthogonal codes that allows for more parameter combinations is examined and found to have error rate performance than is primarily a function of constraint length and not code rate. Symbol puncturing of the codes is also briefly examined
