Abstract :
A serially concatenated code is presented which exhibits a turbo cliff at 0.28 dB. The concatenation consists of an outer rate one-half repetition code and an inner rate one recursive convolutional code. The iterative decoding scheme was designed using the extrinsic information transfer chart (EXIT chart)
