Abstract
A device is disclosed for encoding a stream of databits of a binary source signal into a stream of databits of a binary channel signal. The device comprises a merging unit (,) for merging a 1-bit merging word at equidistant positions in the serial datastream of the binary source signal, so as to obtain a composite binary source signal. A shuffling step is carried out on the composite binary source signal in a shuffling unit (,). Next a conversion is carried out in a converter unit (,), resulting in the channel signal (FIG.,). Further, a decoding device is disclosed for decoding the channel signal obtained by means of the encoding device.
