Abstract : Polar codes are error correction codes developed by Erdal Arikan which achieves channel capacity and its reduced complexity makes it more attractive and successful. In the past several decades we are searching for some techniques which will reduce the effect of noise to a very low value so that we can reproduce the transmitted signal more accurately. Erdal Arkan come up with a new concept which known as polar codes, here we use a channel polarization concept and hence named as polar codes. The discovery of polar code is standing as a milestone in coding theory and lot of researches are carrying out on this topic. Variety of schemes have been proposed over these years for the generation, encoding and decoding of polar codes. The important area of research is the decoder section and most widely used one is successive cancellation decoder[3]. Reduced complexity is the most attractive feature with an overall encoding and decoding complexity of O(NlogN) for a block size of N, which leads to its great success. Polar code concept is used in the most promising 5G technology[10]. In this work a complete implementation of the polar Encoder and decoder is discussed with its MATLAB and Verilog implementations
