Abstract
An upper bound on the transmission ratiok/nfor binary cyclic codes whose extended codes are invariant under the affine group of permutations, is presented. As a consequence, the transmission ratiok/nof any affine-invariant code with a fixedd(minimum weight)/nis shown to approach zero as the code length n increases. This is an extension of the Lin and Weldon result for primitive BCH codes.
