Let G be a dihedral group and let T be a collection of irreducible representations of G. In the simplest case, a subset C of G is a Delsarte T-design if, for each representation ρ in T, the matrix Σ_{g∈C} ρ(g) has trace zero. Every finite group gives rise to an association scheme called the conjugacy class scheme of the group. This MQP explores Delsarte T-designs in the context of this association scheme.
