The document discusses constructing a systematic cyclic code and generator matrix for a (7,4) Hamming code. It provides an example of encoding the data word 1010 using a generator polynomial g(x)= x3+x2+1. The resulting code word is 1010001. It then shows how to construct the generator matrix G by using the code words for the rows of the identity matrix as the first four rows of G. The complete code table is also shown.
