An apparatus for transmitting a digital information signal includes an input terminal for receiving the digital information signal, a first channel encoding unit for carrying out a first channel encoding step on an information word in a series of subsequent information words included in the digital information signal so as to obtain a channel word, a compression unit for carrying out a compression step on a channel word so as to obtain a compressed channel word, an error correction encoding unit for carrying out an error correction encoding of the compressed channel word so as to obtain a parity word, a second channel encoding unit for carrying out a second channel encoding step on the parity word so as to obtain a channel encoded parity word, and a formatting unit for combining the channel word and the channel encoded parity word into a composite transmission signal suitable for transmission via a transmission medium. With such apparatus, very long information words can be converted into channel words, while serious error propagation is avoided during transmission. |
