Polyphase sequences with good periodic and aperiodic autocorrelations

Abstract

Polyphase sequences with ideal periodic autocorrelation functions and favorable aperiodic autocorrelation functions are considered. The properties of such polyphase sequences are studied. It is proved that there exist other Golomb (1965) sequences of length L whose maximum out-of-phase value is bounded by /spl radic/(L/c), where c is an positive number.<>
