Convolution matrix of Galois field vector
A = convmtx(c,n)
A convolution matrix is a matrix, formed from a vector, whose inner product with another vector is the convolution of the two vectors.
A = convmtx(c,n) returns a convolution matrix for the Galois vector c. The output A is a Galois array that represents convolution with c in the sense that conv(c,x) equals
A*x, if c is a column vector and x is any Galois column vector of length n. In this case, A has n columns and m+n-1 rows.
x*A, if c is a row vector and x is any Galois row vector of length n. In this case, A has n rows and m+n-1 columns.
The code below illustrates the equivalence between using the conv function and multiplying by the output of convmtx.
m = 4; c = gf([1; 9; 3],m); % Column vector n = 6; x = gf(randint(n,1,2^m),m); ck1 = isequal(conv(c,x), convmtx(c,n)*x) % True ck2 = isequal(conv(c',x'),x'*convmtx(c',n)) % True
The output is
ck1 =
1
ck2 =
1
