Polyphase alternating codes
We present a new class of alternating codes. Instead of the customary binary phase codes, the new codes utilize either <I>p</I> or <I>p</I>–1 phases, where <I>p</I> is a prime number. The first class of codes has code length <I>p<sup>m</sup>&...

| Summary: | We present a new class of alternating codes. Instead of the
customary binary phase codes, the new codes utilize either
<I>p</I> or <I>p</I>–1 phases, where <I>p</I> is a prime number.
The first class of codes has code length <I>p<sup>m</sup></I>,
where <I>m</I> is a positive integer, the second class has code length <I>p</I>–1.
We give an actual construction algorithm, and explain the
principles behind it. We handle a few specific examples in detail.
The new codes offer an enlarged collection of code lengths for
radar experiments. |
