Abstract :
A pipeline structure of a transform decoder similar to a systolic array is developed to decode Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. The error locator polynomial is computed by a modified Euclid´s algorithm which avoids computing inverse field elements. The new decoder is regular and simple, and naturally suitable for VLSI implementation.
