Block Parameters Dialog Box
The following figure shows the block parameters dialog box.
Figure 3-31: Convolutional encoder block parameters dialog box
Parameters specific to the block are:
Other parameters used by this block are described in the Common Parameters section
of the previous chapter.
The Convolutional Encoder block cannot be placed in an enabled subsystem in
System Generator v2.1. See the Enabled Subsystems section (within the MATLAB I/O
library documentation) explanation for more details.
Xilinx LogiCORE
The block always uses the Xilinx LogiCORE: Convolutional Encoder v1.0.
The Core datasheet can be found on your local disk at:

Communication
Output Rate: 2 or 3. Number of output bits generated per input bit. A rate 1/2
encoder will have an output rate of 2.
Convolution Code 1: Used to generate least significant bit of the output.
Length of convolution code must be between 3 and 9 (inclusive).
Convolution Code 2: Used to generate bit 2 of the output. Length of
convolution code must be between 3 and 9 (inclusive).
Convolution Code 3: Used to generate bit 3 of the output. Length of
convolution code must be between 3 and 9 (inclusive).
