[[fr:Turbo code]]

'''Turbo codes''' are a class of recently-developed high-performance [[error-correcting code|error correction codes]] finding use in deep-space [[satellite]] [[communications]] and other applications where designers seek to achieve maximal information transfer over a limited-bandwidth communication link in the presence of data-corrupting noise. Of all practical error correction methods known to date, turbo codes come closest to approaching the [[Shannon limit]], the theoretical limit of maximum information transfer rate over a noisy channel.
