Is there any way to adapt the matlab convolutional encoders/decoders to work with non-binary data (i.e., real numbers)? I am trying to construct a trellis of an encoder where the input bits are binary, but the output codewords are real numbers.

Any hints?

  • Maybe you can apply just convolution (function `conv`) for the encoder. That depends on how the encoding is done. For the decoder, I do'nt think `vitdec` works for thast case, but I'm not sure. I'm curious, what's the application of this? Equalization? – Luis Mendo Jun 01 '16 at 21:06
  • Yes, equalization. – Noor Jun 01 '16 at 22:30
  • Then maybe [this](http://es.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/mlseeq.html) can help? (I've never used it) – Luis Mendo Jun 01 '16 at 22:36
  • @LuisMendo Looks very useful. I will try it in the morning and come back. You may want to add it as an answer to this question. Thanks a lot. – Noor Jun 01 '16 at 22:56
  • Yes, it is useful. Thanks @LuisMendo – Noor Jun 02 '16 at 20:38
  • Good! I didn't post an answer because it would only be a link. If you feel like it, maybe explain your application a little more and post an answer – Luis Mendo Jun 02 '16 at 20:50
