Assignment:
Q1. For the non recursive encoder shown in Figure 1, calculate the minimum distance of the overall code.
Q2. For the recursive encoder shown in Figure 2, calculate the minimum distance of the overall. code. Assume that there is no puncturing, so that the code rate is k.
Q3. For the encoder shown in Figure 2, discuss the effect on the output code weight if the input to each component encoder is given by the weight-2 sequence (00 ... 00100100 ... 00) (Assume no puncturing).
Q4. Repeat part 3) for the case where the weight-2 sequence is given by (00 .. . 0010100 ... 00).
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
