A Compact and Fast FPGA Based Implementation of Encoding and Decoding Algorithm Using Reed Solomon Codes

Aqib Al Azad and Md Imam Shahed

Abstract—This paper presents a compact and fast Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based implementation technique of Encoding and Decoding Algorithm using Reed Solomon (RS) codes, widely used in numerous applications ranging from wireless and mobile communications units to satellite links for correcting multiple errors especially bursttype errors. The main objective of this paper is to provide the reader with a deep understanding of the theory of RS code and encoding and decoding of the codes to achieve efficient detection and correction of the errors. The paper will cover the properties of RS code, RS Encoding and Decoding algorithm, simulation, synthesis and Verilog HDL based hardware implementation in FPGA device of the proposed RS Encoder and Decoder architecture. The results of fast and compact implementations of RS Encoder and Decoder architecture using Xilinx’s Vertex and Spartan3E FPGA device are presented and analyzed. The design can also be synthesized to other FPGA architectures and is fully flexible & parameterized since block lengths and symbol sizes can be readily adjusted to accommodate a wide range of message sizes.

Index Terms—FPGA, RS, Verilog, HDL.
