A bound is derived and analyzed for the bit error rate (BER) of a Viterbi decoder with survivor truncation. Estimates of the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) loss on the AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) channel due to truncation are obtained for convolutional codes. Larger truncation lengths are required than the smallest value that does not effectively decrease the code's free distance, especially at low E/sub b//N/sub 0/. >
