Hi, In the following description of RS code, Syndrome S first said the remaider of R mod G. Then, it is said C is multiple of G. I feel that it is controversy here. C mod G has 0 remainder? Could you explain it to me? thanks a lot .................... Let C be the code word without any errors, R be the received code word and E be any error that the channel introduces. The encoder takes the data D to be encoded and encodes it as a codeword C, which is a multiple of the generator polynomial G for the case of systematic codes by adding 2T parity words after the K data bytes. The syndrome S can then be defined as S = R mod G and is the remainder obtained by dividing the received code word by the generator polynomial G. The received code word R can then be expressed as R = C + E where E is the associated channel error. Since C is a multiple of G by definition, S actually evaluates to the following: S = E mod G.
