Turbo Decoder Release 0.3
=========================

MAIN FEATURES
-------------

* Double binary, DVB-RCS code
* Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm
* MyHDL cycle/bit accurate model
* Synthesizable VHDL model

MyHDL MODEL
-----------
For help                : python launchTurbo.py -help
For default execution   : python launchTurbo.py
It writes the Bit Error Rate for each iteration into a file:
    turbo0.txt <- BER before decoding
    turbo1.txt <- BER for iteration #1
    turbo2.txt <- BER for iteration #2
    turbo3.txt <- BER for iteration #3

VHDL MODEL
----------
The top-level entity is "turboDec".
All the turbo decoder parameters are stored in the "turbopack.vhd" file.
You can modify:
    - the code rate (RATE)
    - the number of decoding iterations (IT)
    - the interleaver frame size (FRSIZE)
    - the trellis' length (TREL1_LEN and TREL2_LEN)
    - the received decoder signal width (SIG_WIDTH)
    - the extrinsic information signal width (Z_WIDTH)
    - the accumulated distance signal width (ACC_DIST_WIDTH)
