In this paper we describe some practical aspects of the design process of good Raptor codes for finite block lengths over arbitrary binary input symmetric channels. In particular we introduce a simple model for the finite-length convergence behavior of the iterative decoding algorithm based on density evolution, and propose a practical design procedure. We report simulation results for some example codes.
