초록

In this paper, we proposed the method to improve the performance of Viterbi decoder by applying Concatenated structure. Proposed decoder for Concatenated Code is designed with inner Viterbi decoder, block deinterleaver and outer Viterbi decoder. Inner Viterbi decoder (K=7, R=1/2) has 8-level soft decision, but outer decoder (K=7, R= 1/2) has 2-level hard decision. Applied interleaving scheme make decoder to have better BER performance in Concatenated code. The designed VLSI shares inner decoder with outer decoder. Because of sharing structure, complexity of decoder can be reduced to half. But it required about twice clock speed.
