Polar codes represent a seminal breakthrough in error-correcting coding, enabling communication systems to approach the theoretical capacity of a channel with low-complexity decoding methods. Their ...

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have transformed our ability to decode complex ...

Convolutional codes represent a cornerstone in modern communications, offering a method for continuously encoding data streams to mitigate errors due to interference and noise. These codes operate by ...

Last time, we looked into using a logic analyzer to decode SPI signals of LCD displays, which can help us reuse LCD screens from proprietary systems, or port LCD driver code from one platform to ...

QR codes–square, dot-matrix variants of the venerable UPC–are becoming an increasingly popular way to share information such as URLs, contact details, GPS coordinates, and calendar events. The idea is ...

Making your own infrared (IR) sniffer is not only rewarding but also amazingly simple. I’m talking about an IR decoder/encoder that primarily decodes the invisible ...

Morse code encodes a simple text into a sequence of dots, dashes/dits, and spaces. It is one of the earliest methods used to transmit messages in the form of audible or visual signals. The Morse code ...

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme used to encode files and images by translating them into a radix-64 representation and presenting binary data in an ASCII string format. It is mainly used ...
