and decoder corresponding to the R=1/2, K=7 CCSDS standard ("Voyager").
This code is a GNU Radio wrapper around a 1995-era KA9Q portable-C
implementation, and is designed for continuous streaming data, not packets.
The encoder takes MSB packed bytes and outputs channel symbols 0 or 1.
The decoder uses soft-decision Viterbi decoding on a floating point stream of
(possibly noise corrupted) [1.0, 1.0] symbols, and outputs MSB packed
decoded bytes.
Benchmarking on a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo shows 4.7 Mbps decoding rate at
100% CPU usage (single core). (There is a newer KA9Q library that implements
SIMD speed ups with correspondingly faster performance.)
The KA9Q library is placed into src/lib/viterbi. It could use some cleanup,
file/function renaming, and refactoring, or even replacement with the newer
libfec code that is available.
