Zhengchun Zhou, Xiaohu Tang, Yang Yang, Udaya Parampalli · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2012
In this paper, an upper bound for a hybrid incomplete exponential sum over finite fields is derived. This bound is then used to obtain lower and upper bounds for aperiodic Hamming correlation of frequency-hopping sequences based on power functions.
