A convolutional encoder is characterized by the fact that its output depends on?

  • AOnly the present input bit
  • BPresent input and encoder memory state
  • COnly receiver noise
  • DCarrier amplitude alone

Correct Answer: B. Present input and encoder memory state
Explanation: Convolutional coding has memory: coded outputs depend on the current input and previous input information stored in the encoder state.
