Convolutional Codes

Introduction
Convolutional codes are constructed from the present input sequence and some
previous input sequences.
A convolutional code that generates n outputs from k inputs and m previous
inputs is referred to as an (n,k,m) convolutional code.
The encoder of convolution codes with a rate equal to 1 n bits per symbol may be viewed
as a finite state machine that consists of an M-stage shift register with prescribed
connection to n modulo-2 adders, and a multiplexer that serialized the output of the
adders.
Exercise:
Step 1. Setup a simulation that will transmit a
(DPCM) that uses (2,1,2) convolutional
encoder as shown below:
