Abstract :
The authors investigate the efficacy of using two different cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes in tandem to increase error-burst detecting capability. For a set of pairs of CRCs which are used in standards, it is found that the guaranteed detectable burst length is less than the sum of the individual guaranteed detectable burst lengths, but not much less. Thus strengthened CRC codes can readily be obtained using existing devices
