An analysis of the pseudo-randomness properties of subsequences of longm-sequences
J. Lindholm · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 1968
Expressions are derived for the moments of the distribution of weights ofM-tuples or subsequences of longm-sequences. The expressions display a systematic relationship between the moments and the characteristic polynomial or generating function. An algorithm for determining the third moment, which measures skewness, is shown to provide a practical aid for selecting optimum m-sequences for various correlation-detection design problems.
