A '''BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hochquenghem) code'''s is a multilevel, cyclic, [[error]]-correcting, variable-length [[digital]] code used to correct errors up to approximately 25% of the total number of digits.
 
''Note:'' BCH codes are not limited to [[binary]] codes, but may be used with multilevel [[phase-shift keying]] whenever the number of levels is a prime number or a power of a prime number, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, and 13. A BCH code in 11 levels has been used to represent the 10 decimal digits plus a sign [[digit]].
