Abstract From the Canadian patent

In an encoder replica of a decoder for an input code sequence which corresponds to a code symbol sequence comprising an information symbol sequence and a redundancy bit sequence a one-bit memory (46) successively memorizes consecutive bits of the input code sequence as memorized bits. An output circuit (62) delivers replica output bits in bit series to a sequential decode controller (43) in response to the memorized bits. In response to the memorized bits and a control signal produced by the controller in response to the input code sequence and the replica output bits, the encoder replica decodes the input code sequence into a reproduction of the information symbol sequence. Preferably the …
