- property galois.BCH.d : int
The minimum distance \(d\) of the \([n, k, d]_q\) code.
The minimum distance of a BCH code may be greater than the design distance, i.e. \(d_{min} \ge d\).
Examples¶
Construct a binary \(\textrm{BCH}(15, 7)\) code.
In [1]: bch = galois.BCH(15, 7); bch Out[1]: <BCH Code: [15, 7, 5] over GF(2)> In [2]: bch.d Out[2]: 5
Construct a \(\textrm{BCH}(26, 14)\) code over \(\mathrm{GF}(3)\).
In [3]: bch = galois.BCH(26, 14, field=galois.GF(3)); bch Out[3]: <BCH Code: [26, 14, 7] over GF(3)> In [4]: bch.d Out[4]: 7
