In this paper, review about the performance of RSC-RSC concatenated system in terms of
bit error rate (BER) is done using MATLAB software. The RSC-RSC system uses Concatenation of
Recursive systematic convolution codes (RSC) as outer and inner codes with the help of interleaver. For
decoding of RSC-RSC system, we have used a non-iterative decoding scheme which includes two
Viterbi decoders in concatenation with de-interleaver. We show that in the RSC-RSC system BER
decreases, as the signal to noise ration increases. We have also investigated the performance of RSCRSC system for effect of varying data rate using puncturing.
