In this paper we extend this analytical basis for the decoding of serially concatenated codes and focus on serially concatenated product codes SCPC . product codes with checks on checks . For this case at least one of the component . rows columns decoders should calculate the extrinsic information not only for the information bits but also for the check bits. We refer to such a component decoder as a serial decoding module SDM . We extend the framework accordingly and derive the update equations for a general turbo decoder of SCPC and the expressions for the main analysis tools the Jacobian and stability matrices. We explore the stability of the SDM. Specifically for high SNR we prove that the maximal eigenvalue of the SDM s stability matrix approaches d - 1 where d is the minimum Hamming distance of the component code. Hence for practical codes the SDM is unstable. Further we analyze the two turbo decoding schemes proposed by Benedetto and Pyndiah by deriving the corresponding update equations and by demonstrating the structure of their stability matrices for the repetition code and an SCPC code with 2 X 2 information bits.
