Abstract :
The implementation of a 350 Mb/s 16-state SISO turbo decoder and its corresponding coder are described. It performs within 1.8 dB of Shannon´s limit in terms of error correction. Implemented in 0.13 μm low-leakage technology, this codec occupies 10 mm2 and is designed using a Matlab-to-RTL design flow.
