Aim

The aim of this experiment is to introduce students with the concepts of a generator matrix and a parity check matrix of a linear block code. Students will learn how to encode a message using the given generator matrix and also construct a generator matrix associated with the given code. We will then introduce a parity check matrix of the code and also explore some properties of the generator and parity check matrix of the code.

The structure of the experiment is as follows:

• Encoding
• Codebook generation
• Generator matrix
• Parity check matrix
