Comparison of Additive and Multiplicative Complementary Sequences for Navigation and Flight Control Systems

Abstract

Navigation and flight control systems often use pulse compression techniques combined with the matched filtering approach as the main signal processing scheme. Golay complementary sequences are well known signal constructions for the pulse compression technique, which are additive complementary sequences in terms of the nature of their signal processing. The similar multiplicative complementary sequences also exsist. The comparison of additive and multiplicative complementary sequences is given in the paper.
