Abstract
A recently derived upper bound for Weil-type exponential sums over Galois rings leads directly to an estimate for the minimum Lee distance of Z4-linear trace codes. In this paper, an improved minimum distance estimate is presented. The improved estimate is tight for the Kerdock code as well as for the Delsarte-Goethals´ codes
