This paper presents a novel analog turbo decoding architecture allowing analog decoders for long frame lengths to be implemented on a single chip. This is made possible by suitably using slicing techniques which allow hardware reuse and reconfigurability. The architecture is applied to a DVB-RCS-like code. It shows a reduction of occupied chip area by a factor of ten when compared to a conventional slice design with no significant performance degradation. A single 27mm/sup 2/ 0.25/spl mu/m BiCMOS decoder can then decode any frame length from 40 up to 1824 bits.
