Two binary sequence families with large merit factor
Kai‐Uwe Schmidt, Jonathan Jedwab, Matthew Geoffrey Parker · Advances in Mathematics of Communications · 2009
We calculate the asymptotic merit factor, under all rotations of sequence elements, of two families of binary sequences derived from Legendre sequences. The rotation is negaperiodic for the first family, and periodic for the second family. In both cases the maximum asymptotic merit factor is 6. As a consequence, we obtain the first two families of skew-symmetric sequences with known asymptotic merit factor, which is also 6 in both cases.
