In this thesis an estimate of the number of error patterns of weight t+1, which 1-step MLD can correct, is given since they have a high probability of occurrence as compared, to those of greater weights. General considerations on 1-step MLD are also included.147 p.Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.Thesis
