Multiple Access Frequency Hopping Patterns with Low Ambiguity
Russell M. Mersereau, Thomas S. Seay · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 1981
A technique is discussed for the design of multiple access frequency hopping patterns which will allow a number of users to communicate reliably over a limited bandwidth in the presence of Doppler and timing asynchronies. The patterns are based on a subset of the Reed-Solomon codewords. They possess nearly flat ambiguity and cross-ambiguity functions and thus could be useful as discrete radar signals. In addition the structure of the patterns permits a straightforward Implementation.
