RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Sedy, Jakub A1 Silhavy, Pavel A1 Krajsa, Ondrej A1 Hrouza, Ondrej T1 Performance Analysis of Turbo Codes JF Communications - Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina YR 2013 VO 15 IS 11 SP 167 OP 173 DO 10.26552/com.C.2013.2A.167-173 UL https://komunikacie.uniza.sk/artkey/csl-201311-0029.php AB The article focuses on the performance analyses of Turbo Codes. These codes belong to the group of error correction codes. By their use, it is possible to achieve high system performance. The performance analysis is based on simulations for different code parameters that affect the code gain, bit error rate and computational complexity. Furthermore, it presents the basic structure of the encoder and decoder and the principle of encoding and decoding, which uses the Viterbi algorithm with soft input and soft output.
