Error Correction Coding with NMOS Microprocessors: Concepts. Volume I,
Abstract
Error correction coding can be employed in the design of C3 systems to increase transmission reliability and enhance system effectiveness. The maturation of LSI technology and particularly the ubiquitous microprocessor now allow low-cost simple implementations of error coding hardware. Theoretical fundamentals of linear block codes are reviewed with respect to their suitability to decoder design utilizing 8-bit NMOS microprocessors. Key architectural features of NMOS microprocessors are analyzed to determine those characteristics that are best suited to performing decoding functions. A methodology for evaluating MIL-qualified candidate microprocessors is presented that leads to the selection of a microprocessor for the design of the decoder hardware. (Author)
