Also known as Binary signal constellation.
Description
An \((n,K,4d/n)\) spherical code obtained from a binary \((n,K,d)\) code via the antipodal mapping.
Antipodal mapping: The antipodal mapping, also known as a Euclidean-space image or \(Y_2\) construction), is a component-wise mapping from binary space into Euclidean space. Each coodinate of a binary string is mapped into a sign, \(0\to +1\) and \(1 \to -1\) [1; Example 1.2.1].

- Binary PSK (BPSK) code — A single-bit binary code yields a spherical \((n,2,4)\) spherical code under the antipodal mapping, which is equivalent to the BPSK code for dimension \(n=2\).
- Kerdock spherical code
Cousins
- Binary PSK (BPSK) code — A binary antipodal code can be thought of as a concatenation of a binary outer code with a BPSK inner code.
- Binary code — Binary antipodal codes are spherical codes obtained from binary codes via the antipodal mapping.
- Slepian group-orbit code — Any length-\(n\) binary linear code can be used to define a diagonal subgroup of \(n\)-dimensional rotation matrices with \(\pm 1\) on the diagonals via the antipodal mapping \(0\to+1\) and \(1\to-1\). The orbit of this subgroup yields the corresponding Slepian group-orbit code; see [1; Thm. 8.5.2].
- Biorthogonal spherical code — Each first-order RM\((1,m)\) code maps to a \((2^m,2^{m+1})\) biorthogonal spherical code under the antipodal mapping [2][3; Sec. 6.4][1; pg. 19]. In other words, first-order RM (biorthogonal spherical) codes form orthoplexes in Hamming (Euclidean) space.
- Hypercube code — Binary antipodal codes are subcodes of a hypercube code since the hypercube code corresponds to the Hamming \(n\)-cube embedded into the unit \(n\)-sphere.
- Simplex spherical code — Binary simplex codes map to \((2^m,2^m+1)\) simplex spherical codes under the antipodal mapping [3; Sec. 6.5.2][1; pg. 18]. In other words, simplex (simplex spherical) codes form simplices in Hamming (Euclidean) space.
