Abstract
Multiple error-correcting Reed-Solomon (RS) codes have many practical applications. The complexity of an RS encoder depends on multiplicatio ns in the finite field over which the code is defined. In this article , we consider a triangular basis for representing the field elements, and present architecture for a rate adaptive RS encoder using a triang ular basis multiplication algorithm. The architecture supports pipelin e and bit-serial operations, and has a low circuit complexity.
