Nonequivalent cascaded convolutional codes obtained from equivalent constituent convolutional encoders

Summary, in English

Cascaded convolutional codes with conventional convolutional codes as constituent codes are powerful and attractive to use in communication systems where very low error probabilities are needed. This paper clearly demonstrates the dramatic effect the replacement of the inner convolutional encoder by an equivalent one could have on the cascaded convolutional code.
