Systematic LT codes (SLT) has advantage over LT code in unequal error protection of packet. SLT codes are designed using Robust soliton distribution (RSD), Sparse Degree Distribution (SDD) and Novel Degree Distribution (NDD). Further, SLT codes have been used as channel coding technique to transfer AES encrypted Image on BPSK over AWGN channel. BER in the range of 10-6 for SNR levels of 2dB have been achieved in SDD and NDD using soft decoding of 6 iterations for R-1 = 3.5. While analyzing the performance of SLT Codes, it has been observed that BER decreases drastically from 10-1 to 10-6 for SNR variation from 0.5dB to 2dB. Image quality analysis has been performed using Mean Squared Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Number of Pixel Changing Rate (NPCR) and Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI) for RSD, SDD & NDD between these power levels. © 2022 IEEE.AWGNBit Error Rate(BER)Novel Degree Distribution (NDD)Robust Soliton Distribution (RSD)Sparse Degree Distribution (SDD)Systematic LT (SLT) codesSecure Image Communication using Systematic-LT Codes over AWGN Channel
