Abstract :
In 1986 H. Brandstrom described concatenated codes using polynomials in two indeterminates. The author discusses concatenated codes using this idea with some modifications. He describes the code as a principal idea in a quotient ring. By doing so, the author shows the differences and similarities between product codes and concatenated codes and why concatenated codes are much better than product codes. The concatenated codes considered consist of cyclic inner and outer codes. Typically, the outer code is an RS (Reed-Solomon) code and the inner code is a BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenguem) code. The codes for the product codes are also cyclic and typically BCH-codes
