A single-chip deinterleaving Reed-Solomon decoder for high performance CCSDS telemetry

Abstract

The authors describe the development of a single-chip deinterleaving Reed-Solomon error correction decoder that demonstrates low-cost error correction for CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) compatible data streams. This Reed-Solomon error correction chip, designed to operate at rates up to 300 Mb/s, also incorporates additional on-chip features such as cumulative quality accounting, real-time quality trailer generation, and fill frame removal.<>
