Generic Polar FEC Encoder and Decoder

Polar codes are a trending family of forward error correction codes currently gaining a place in the realm of digital communications, which exhibit a particularly high performance while requiring a low-complexity implementation. They were first adopted by the 3GPP 5G NR standard. 
The Creonic Polar Encoder IP core is a scalable solution featuring code-rate flexibility, high throughput and very low latency on state-of-the-art FPGAs. Since a polar encoder normally requires information data to be presented in a certain way at its input, the Creonic Polar Encoder IP takes care of this in a pre-encoding stage.This important feature, with aid of AXI4-Stream interface ports, allows a very straight-forward integration of the core into any system.
