            Abstract : 
We investigate the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) functions of Hadamard codes in the context of repeat- zigzag Hadamard (RZH) codes with parallel decoding. The derived EXIT functions can serve as an effective tool for designing low-rate IRZH codes with parallel decoding in BIAWGN channels.
