Before 1997, only two essentially different constructions that were not based on a number theory approach were known for cyclic Hadamard difference sets with parameter (2 ⁿ 1, 2 ^{n 1} 1, 2 ^{n 2} 1) or, equivalently, for binary 2-level autocorrelation sequences of period 2 ⁿ 1 for arbitrary n. One is the Singer construction, which gives m-sequences, and the other is the GMW construction, which produces four types of GMW sequences. Exhaustive searches had been done for n = 7, 8, and 9 in 1971, 1983, and 1992, respectively. However, there was no explanation for several of the sequences found for these lengths that did not follow from then-known constructions. In this chapter, we will describe the remarkable progress in finding new constructions for 2-level autocorrelation sequences of period 2 ⁿ 1 since 1997. (An exhaustive search was also done for n = 10 in 1998.) The order of presentation of these remarkable constructions will follow the history of the developments of this research. Section 9.1 presents constructions of 2-level autocorrelation sequences having multiple trace terms. In Section 9.2, the hyper-oval constructions are introduced. Section 9.3 shows the Kasami power construction. In the last section, we introduce the iterative decimation-Hadamard transform, a method of searching for new sequences with 2-level autocorrelation.
