Alternative names: Biorthogonal code, RM\((1,m)\) code, Augmented Hadamard code.
Description
A member of the family of first-order RM codes. Its codewords are the rows of the \(2^m\)-dimensional Hadamard matrix \(H\) and its negation \(-H\) with the mapping \(+1\to 0\) and \(-1\to 1\). They form a \((2^m,2^{m+1})\) biorthogonal spherical code under the antipodal mapping.
The automorphism group of the code is \(GA_{m}(\mathbb{F}_{2})\) [1].
Decoding
First-order RM codes admit specialized decoders, such as the Fast Hadamard Transform decoder [2].Realizations
The \([32, 6, 16]\) RM\((1,5)\) code was used for the 1971 Mariner 9 spacecraft [3].Notes
See Ref. [4] for the weight distribution of the \(2^{26}\) cosets of the \([32,6]\) first-order RM code.Cousins
- Biorthogonal spherical code— Each first-order RM code maps to a \((2^m,2^{m+1})\) biorthogonal spherical code under the antipodal mapping [5][6; Sec. 6.4][7; pg. 19]. In other words, first-order RM (biorthogonal spherical) codes form orthoplexes in Hamming (Euclidean) space.
- Hadamard code— The \([2^m,m+1,2^{m-1}]\) augmented Hadamard code is the first-order RM code (a.k.a. RM\((1,m)\)). Rows of a Hadamard matrix forming a Prometheus orthonormal set (PONS) are codewords of a coset of RM\((1,m)\) in RM\((2,m)\) [8].
- \([2^m-1,m,2^{m-1}]\) simplex code— First-order RM codes and simplex codes are interconvertible via shortening and lengthening [1; pg. 31]. Punctured first-order RM codes and simplex codes are interconvertible via expurgation and augmentation [1; pg. 31].
- \([2^r,2^r-r-1,4]\) Extended Hamming code— Extended Hamming and first-order RM codes are dual to each other.
- Kerdock code— Kerdock code is a subcode of a second-order RM Code [1; pg. 457]. It consists of a number of cosets of RM\((2,m)\) created by quotienting with first-order RM\((1,m)\) codes.
- Levenshtein code— First-order RM codes and Levenshtein codes are both constructed using Hadamard matrices.
- \([[2^r, 2^r-r-2, 3]]\) Gottesman code— Gottesman codes can be obtained from a modified CSS construction [9] with a \([2^r,r+1,2^{r-1}] = C_2^{\perp}\) first-order RM code and a \([2^r,2^r-1,2] = C_1\) even-weight code [9].
- Quantum divisible code— Quantum divisible codes can be constructed out of first-order RM\((1,m)\) codes [10].
- \([[2^r-1,1,3]]\) simplex code— The \([[2^r-1,1,3]]\) simplex code is constructed with a punctured first-order RM code and its even subcode.
Primary Hierarchy

Children
The \([8,4,4]\) extended Hamming code is a first-order RM code because it is self-dual and first-order RM codes are dual to extended Hamming codes.
