New Design of Quaternary Low-Correlation Zone Sequence Sets and Quaternary Hadamard Matrices
Jin-Ho Chung, Kyeongcheol Yang · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2008
In this correspondence, we present new construction methods for quaternary low-correlation zone (LCZ) sequence sets from a binary sequence with good autocorrelation. We show that the sets obtained by our methods are optimal or nearly optimal with respect to the Tang–Fan–Matsufuji bound and that our construction methods are more flexible than any other previous constructions in the sense of period, family size, and zone size. We also give a construction method for a quaternary LCZ sequence set from a binary LCZ sequence set. Finally, we give a new construction method for quaternary Hadamard matrices by the inverse of the Gray map.
