Two families of negacyclic BCH codes
share
Negacyclic BCH codes are a subclass of neagcyclic codes and are the best linear codes in many cases. However, there have been very few results on negacyclic BCH codes. Let q be an odd prime power and m be a positive integer. The objective of this paper is to study negacyclic BCH codes with length q^m-1/2 and q^m+1/2 over the finite field (q) and analyse their parameters. The negacyclic BCH codes presented in this paper have good parameters in general, and contain many optimal linear codes. For certain q and m, compared with cyclic codes with the same dimension and length, the negacyclic BCH codes presented in this paper have a larger minimum distance in some cases.
