About

This project is situated in the domain of error-correcting coding for Audio CDs. The first part of the project comprises the implementation of a Reed-Solomon encoder/decoder. In the second half of the project a part of the audio CD system, as described in its original standard, is implemented. This is all done in Matlab.

Part 1 : Reed-Solomon coding

File: RSCode.m

Part 2 : Cross-Interleaved Reed-Solomon coding

File: AudioCD.m

Requirements

The application is tested on Windows 10 using:

• Matlab 9.7

Installation

Run any of the .m files. Static methods are provided to do some basic testing.
