Abstract
The paper presents a comparative study of randomness properties of patterns generated by one-dimensional linear hybrid cellular automata (LHCA) and linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) with phase shifters on their outputs. It is shown that properly synthesized phase shifters allow LFSRs to match performance of the LHCAs as pseudo-random pattern generators (PRPGs), in marked contrast to several suggestions that LHCAs can outperform LFSRs in variety of testing applications.
