Effectiveness of Hamming Single Error Correction Codes under Harsh Electromagnetic Disturbances

© 2018 IEEE. Modern hi-tech systems rely heavily on communication networks while operating in increasingly harsher electromagnetic conditions. To protect transmitted data from corruption, Error Correcting Codes are widely used. In this paper, the effectiveness of the Hamming code is evaluated under harsh electromagnetic disturbances. Our simulations show that, under certain conditions, the impact of the introduced overhead cannot be compensated by the single error correcting capabilities of the Hamming codes. Moreover, for specific bit and disturbance frequencies and for larger data sets, the use of a Hamming code provides limited to no advantage.
