Abstract: Compared with binary LDPC codes,non-binary codes have better error correction performance,stronger burst-error-correcting capability,can also combine with higher-order modulations,which attracted a wide-spread attentiaon.However the advantages of non-binary LDPC codes are limited by the high complexity of encoding and decoding algorithm.Based on repeat accumulate structure,a check matrix with fast algorithm was constructed.By using fast double-recursion pipeline method and improved EMS decoding algorithm,complexity and calculation of the algorithm were reduced,which are beneficial for the realization of the hardwares.On Gaussian channel,the BER of GF(2)and GF(4)LDPC codes are compared,and the modulation performance of BPSK and 4QAM are compared for GF(4)LDPC.Simulation results prove the validity and feasibility of the design.

Key words: non-binary LDPC codes, repeat accumulate codes, fast double-recursion pipeline method, EMS algorithm
