Determine the free distance of the code- Humanities
A k = 1, K = 3, and n = 2 convolutional code is characterized by g1 = [001] and g2 = [101].
1. Draw the state diagram for the encoder.
2. Determine the transfer function of the code in the form T (Y, Z).
3. Is this code a catastrophic code? Why?
4. Determine the free distance of the code.
5. If the code is used with hard decision decoding on a channel with crossover probability of p = 10-3, determine an upper bound on the average bit error probability of the code.
