Abstract

We present and analyze a new construction of bipolar balanced codes where each codeword contains equally many -1's and +1's. The new code is minimally modified as the number of symbol changes made to the source word for translating it into a balanced codeword is as small as possible. The balanced codes feature low redundancy and time complexity. Large look-up tables are avoided.
