Technical assistance telemetry channel coding investigation. Phase 2 report: The Reed-Solomon outer coding scheme
Abstract
The phase 2 effort by the National Aerospace Laboratory in the realization of an effective outer coding scheme for use on spacecraft to ground telemetry links is decribed. The phase 2 effort encompasses: a performance test of the Reed-Solomon code when applied to actual recordings of the inner (Viterbi) decoder output data; the specification in detail of the algorithms used in the Reed-Solomon encoder and decoder; and a concept for the hardware implementation of the (spaceborne) encoder.
