<p>A channel decoding apparatus for use in a European digital audio broadcasting (DAB) receiver has a deinterleaver memory having a first address that designates one data group among plural data groups, and a second address that designates one data among data included in the respective data groups. The deinterleaver memory has the address structure that has the second address as an upper address and the first address as a lower address. Second, the channel decoding apparatus has a depuncturing unit for inserting a predetermined value in the place of a punctured data based on puncturing information, thereby generating a depuncturing data. The depuncturing unit controls decoding of the viterbi decoder based on the puncturing information. Third, a performance measuring apparatus is provided to the channel decoding apparatus, and includes a puncturing information inserting unit that inserts an information data as puncturing information in the signal inputted to the viterbi decoder, and an error calculating unit that calculates a decoding error rate of the viterbi decoder by comparing the input and output data to and from the viterbi decoder using the inserted information data. The use of deinterleaver becomes more efficient, and decoding time of the viterbi decoder is shortened. Also, circuit of the performance measuring apparatus is constructed in simple design. <IMAGE></p> |
