Information on Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a very efficient error detection algorithm that uses a polynomial function to generate the block check characters. A cyclic redundancy check is often used in conjunction with automatic repeat request. Satellite communications systems commonly use cyclic redundancy check codes.
