Oduol and C. Ardil}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A method is presented for obtaining the error probability for block codes. The method is based on the eigenvalueeigenvector properties of the code correlation matrix. It is found that under a unary transformation and for an additive white Gaussian noise environment, the performance evaluation of a block code becomes a one-dimensional problem in which only one eigenvalue and its corresponding eigenvector are needed in the computation. The obtained error rate results show remarkable agreement between simulations and analysis. }, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {8}, year = {2012}, pages = {893 - 898}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10271}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/68}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 68, 2012}, }
