Abstract

A novel interleaver-de-interleaver is provided which is adapted to store bits of a data stream after being error encoded. The data bits are stored in a random access memory in addresses identifiable by an array of columns and rows. The interleaver comprises address pointer means and logic for reading the data bits out of the memory addresses in a predetermined reordered sequence to provide a quasi-random pattern sequence of data bits which when transmitted are substantially immune to periodic bursts of radio frequency interference signals.
