}By using the theory of finite field Fourier transforms, the subject of error control codes is described in a language familiar to the field of signal processing. The many important uses of spectral techniques in error control are summarized. Many classes of linear codes are given a spectral interpretation and some new codes are describe. Several alternative encoder/ decoder schemes are described by frequency domain reasoning. In particular, an errors-and-erasures decoder for a BCH code is…
