Hadamard Matrices Each row is a possible code Each matrix has a Hamming distance Hamming Distance The number of places that two binary words differ from one another Can fix ? (d – 1) / 2?errors Encoding Example Hamming Distance = 4 ? (4 – 1) / 2? = 1 (fixable error) Example: 110 ?Decoding Example Example: 0101 1101 ? ? Result: 0101 1101 ? 0100 1101 ? 110 Summary Introduction Quick Definitions Error Generation Real World Example Reed-Muller Code Hadamard Matrices Hamming Distance Encoding Example Decoding Example References Fundamentals of Error-Correcting Codes Author: Cary Huffman Publisher: Cambridge University Press Date: June 26, 2003 ISBN: 0521782805 The Theory of Error-Correcting Codes Author: Neil J.
