Syndrome/Examples/(6, 3) code in Z2
Example of Syndrome
Let $C$ be the linear $\tuple {6, 3}$-code in $\Z_2$ whose standard generator matrix $G$ is given by:
- $G := \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$
The syndrome of $100000$ is $110$
The syndrome of $110011$ is $000$.
Proof
From Standard Parity Check Matrix on the given linear $\tuple {6, 3}$-code in $\Z_2$:
- $P := \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$
where $P$ is the standard parity check matrix of $C$.
Thus:
\(\ds P \tuple {100000}^\intercal\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}\) |
