Hamming based Single Fault Error Correction Code
Hamming based Single Fault Error Correction Code | Signal processing and communication systems often use digital filters. In certain circumstances, the dependability of such systems is essential, prompting the construction of fault-tolerant filters. Many methods that take use of the structure and characteristics of the filters to achieve fault tolerance have been put forward throughout the years. Technology advances permit more intricate systems with several filters. It is typical for some of the filters in such complicated systems to function in simultaneously, for instance by using the same filter on several input signals. Recently, a straightforward method for achieving fault tolerance was given that takes use of the existence of parallel filters. This paper expands on that concept to demonstrate how error correction codes (ECCs), in which each filter is the equivalent of a bit in a conventional ECC, may be used to secure parallel filters. When there are several parallel filters operating simultaneously, this new technique enables more effective protection. The efficiency of the method in terms of protection and implementation cost is assessed using a case study of parallel finite impulse response filters.
