Question

Properties of cyclic codes in digital communication

Answer 1

In coding theory, a cyclic code is a block code, where the circular shifts of each codeword gives another word that belongs to the code. They are error-correcting codes that have algebraic properties that are convenient for efficient error detection and correction.

Answer 2

Following are two properties of cyclic cod in digital communication

• Property of Linearity
• Property of Cyclic Shifting

Explanation:

• Cyclic Cod is understood to be a subclass of linear block cods wherever cyclic shift within the bits of the codword leads to another codword.
• Cyclic cods are widely used in satellite communication because the data sent digitally is encodad and decodad using cyclic cryptography.
• These are error-correcting cods wherever the particular data is sent over the channel by combining with the parity bits.
• Property of Linearity
• According to this property, a linear combination of 2 codwords should be another codword.
• Property of Cyclic Shifting
• According to this property, when a right or left shift within the bits of codwords the resultant cod generated should be another codword.
• Hence, cyclic cods in digital communication have the above
• two properties.
