Directory structure:

• encoder.py contains a convolutional encoder class
• trellis.py contains a Viterbi decoder class
  • node.py defines a class which represents a state in the decoder trellis
• string_utils.py contains peripheral utility functions
• test_bench.py instantiates an encoder and a decoder and simulates the sending of a message
• graphs.py produces the graphs found in the imgs directory
