Abstract

Considered is the distribution of the cross correlation betweenm-sequences of length 2 m- 1, wheremis even, and m-sequences of a shorter length 2m/2- 1. Pairs of this type with at mostfour-valued cross correlation are found and the completecorrelation distribution is determined. These results cover thetwo-valued Kasami case and all three-valued decimations foundearlier. Conjectured is that there are no other cases leading to atmost four-valued cross correlation apart from the ones proven hereand except for a single, seemingly degenerate, case.
