Because the Hamming code is a linear code, it can be written compactly in terms of matrices as follows. The transmitted codeword is obtained from the source sequence by a linear operation,where is the generator matrix of the code... I have assumed that and are column vectors. If instead they are row vectors, then this equation is replaced byThe rows of the generator matrix can be viewed as defining the basis vectors.
