GENERATOR OF LOCATORS OF GALOIS FIELDS GF(Q*99M) Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: computer engineering, in particular, decoders of Reed-Solomon codes. SUBSTANCE: device has shift register of m bits, p modulo-q adders, m+p+1 duplex data commutators, m initial setters of locators. Outputs of register bits serve as device information outputs. Introduced commutators, which are controlled by mode setting input, and their connection to register bits and adders provide possibility of two operation modes: generation of sequences with ascending or descending element rank. Introduced initial setters of locators provide possibility to generate all possible sequences of locators. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 5 dwg
