Signal Design for Good Correlation For Wireless Communication, Cryptography, and Radar

This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the methodologies and theapplication areas, throughout the range of digital communication, in which individualsignals and sets of signals with favorable correlation properties play a central role.The necessary mathematical background is presented to explain how these signals aregenerated and to show how they satisfy the appropriate correlation constraints. All theknown methods to obtain balanced binary sequences with two-valued autocorrelation,many of them only recently discovered, are presented...
