Abstract

A Reed-Solomon coding decoder for use in error correction has a plurality of processing elements (PEs) each including a selector having a plurality of inputs and at least one output, a multiplier which receives as at least one of the inputs thereof the output from the selector, an adder for adding the outputs of the multiplier, and m-stages of registers for storing the outputs of the adder and the selector. The PEs are connected in a predetermined pattern to realize a compact construction of a Reed-Solomon code decoder.
