In a trellis representation of a convolutional code, a path through the trellis represents?

  • AA possible encoder state and output sequence over time
  • BOnly receiver bandwidth
  • CA single analog carrier cycle
  • DThermal-noise temperature

Correct Answer: A. A possible encoder state and output sequence over time
Explanation: Each trellis path corresponds to a possible sequence of encoder state transitions and associated coded outputs.
