Abstract :
Reed Solomon codes with interleaving are used in a binary FM transmission affected by Rayleigh fading as encountered in land mobile radio. A new decoding algorithm is proposed which can be implemented in simple hardware. The error performance of the binary FM system with the RS code with one and two degrees of interleaving is measured. A significant reduction of error rate floor as a function of fading speed is noted and discussed
