摘要	This semitutorial paper starts with a review of some of Forney's contributions on the algebraic structure of convolutional encoders on which some new results on minimal convolutional encoders rest. An example is given of a basic convolutional encoding matrix whose number of abstract states is minimal over all equivalent encoding matrices. However, this encoding matrix can be realized with a minimal number of memory elements neither in controller canonical form nor in observer canonical form. Thus, this encoding matrix is not minimal according to Forney's definition of a minimal encoder. To resolve this difficulty, the following three minimality criteria are introduced: minimal-basic encoding matrix (minimal overall constraint length over equivalent basic encoding matrices), minimal encoding matrix (minimal number of abstract states over equivalent encoding matrices), and minimal encoder (realization of a minimal encoding matrix with a minimal number of memory elements over all realizations). Among other results, it is shown that all minimal-basic encoding matrices are minimal, but that there exist (basic) minimal encoding matrices that are not minimal-basic! Several equivalent conditions are given for an encoding matrix to be minimal. It is also proven that the constraint lengths of two equivalent minimal-basic encoding matrices are equal one by one up to a rearrangement. All results are proven using only elementary linear algebra. Most important among the new results are a simple minimality test, the surprising fact that there exist basic encoding matrices that are minimal but not minimal-basic, the existence of basic encoding matrices that are nonminimal, and a recent result, due to Forney, that states exactly when a basic encoding matrix is minimal.
