An analysis of burst encoding methods and transmission properties
G. L. Taylor · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1975
This paper describes the performance of a class of unweighted binary number representations. One of these, called burst processing, has been proposed as a compromise between stochastic and weighted-binary number representation for digital systems. Encoders, digital filters, and error correcting circuitry for these inherently redundant representations are discussed. Used as channel codes, these representations out-perform conventional error-correcting codes only in unusual circumstances. Their usefulness lies in the simplicity of the hardware required to accomplish digital signal processing tasks.
