Abstract

The BCH bound approaches zero with increasing code length for any fixed value of the ratio of minimum distance to code length. Does this happen because the codes actually deteriorate or does the bound just become loose? It is shown that the BCH bound gives the true minimum distance within a factor of two. We conclude that it is the codes, not the bound, which deteriorate with increasing code length.
