Error correcting codes are designed for reliable transmission of digital information over a noisy channel. Several papers have been published on blind identification of binary FEC codes but papers reported on the identification of non-binary error correcting codes are less. Due to its strong error correction capability, RS (Reed-Solomon) code is being used widely. So technique for blind recognition of RS code is required to analyse intercepted signal as well as for intelligent communication. This paper presents a technique for extraction of parameters of Reed-Solomon code from intercepted demodulated bitstream. The proposed algorithm is very simple and hence it is very practical for hardware implementation. Our approach has been verified using MATLAB simulation.
