Abstract :
The authors comment that in the paper of Yuan, Vucetic and Feng (see ibid., vol.47, p.484-87, Apr. 1999), the optimum distance spectrum (ODS) code found for memory order v=5, is actually v=3 convolutional code. The ODS code with h/sub 0/=43/sub s/ and h /sub 1/=55/sub s/ is actually v=3 code, because the feedback polynomial h/sub 0/, and feedforward polynomial h/sub 1/ are not relatively prime polynomials.
