A simple element inverse jacket transform coding

Abstract

Jacket transforms are a class of transforms which are simple to calculate, easily inverted and are size-flexible. Previously reported jacket transforms were generalizations of the well-known Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) and the center-weighted Hadamard transform (CWHT). In this paper we present a new class of jacket transform not derived from either the WHT or the CWHT. This class of transform can be applied to any even length vector, and is applicable to finite fields and is useful for constructing error control codes.
