Abstract

The error detecting features of the RS codes are analyzed for the case of correlated errors, typical in digital hardware testing applications (algorithmic fault detection). It is shown, that the Reed-Solomon codes, despite their excellent error detection characteristics in telecommunication type applications, are improper solutions for multiple input signature analysis. It is proven, that in signature analysis applications the algorithmic fault detection feature of the RS codes are far below the theoretical limits. An alternative solution is also presented providing maximal error detection.
