Abstract

Polar code is currently implemented in high-speed high performance modern communication systems. The polar code enabled these systems to transmit near Shannon’s limit with minimum bit error rate (BER). However, the performance of polar encoding is enhanced using a systematic encoding technique that convolves the data, providing higher noise immunity. This paper provides the hardware implementation of systematic and nonsystematic encoding using an FPGA to provide fully parallel operation for maximum processing speed. Both techniques' performance is evaluated under the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and a practical indoor multipath channel. Both techniques showed a significant BER improvement compared to BPSK. The tests showed that the systematic performance is superior to the nonsystematic technique.
