Abstract :
A representation of the Kerdock (1972) code K(m) is given that allows instantaneous encoding and the use of different complete decoding strategies. Applications to error correction and to vector quantisation are described. The particularly interesting code K(4) is thoroughly analysed and the associated bit-error rate on the binary symmetric channel is derived in closed form.<>
