ABSTRACT:
A GA HDTV decoding system recovers a data symbol including a first bit and (N-1) remaining bits from a transmitted signal, wherein the first bit of the data symbol is coded by a 1/2 convolutional encoder to provide two coded bits and a modulated signal corresponding to the data symbol is selected among 2.sup.N+1 predetermined signals, amplitude of each of the predetermined signals corresponds to one of 2.sup.N+1 combinations of the remaining (N-1) bits of the data symbol and the two coded bits, and the modulated signal is transmitted by a channel to form a transmitted signal. The decoding system comprises means for deciding the (N-1) remaining bits of the data symbol in response to the transmitted signal; means for providing two bit metrics in response to the transmitted signal wherein each of the bit metric is a number reflecting a confidence level that each of the coded bits is "1"; and means for determining the first bit of the data symbol from the two bit metrics.
