High-Speed M-Sequence Generators
Warlick, Hershey · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 1980
The generation of high-speed maximal length "M"-sequences is at the heart of many diverse techniques, notably code-division multiple access communications systems, or spectrum spreading, and precise ranging disciplines. This paper develops a rich family of M-sequences whose upper speed bound is set by the fastest shift register stage available in the technology under consideration and not by logic gate delays.
