BINARYAND EXTENDED GOLAY CODE ARCHITECTURE In (23‚ 12‚ 7) Golay code‚ the message is constructed of 12 bits‚ then additional 11 bits are appended to it. After appending check bits‚ which are obtained from CRC generation process to the 12 bits message‚ total bits will become 23 and it is named codeword. The 23 bits obtained at the receiver side is able to be converted into a 12 bits message even if there is distortion in the message.The proposed architecture for the binary and extended Golay code
