Abstract

Sequences with optimal autocorrelation property are needed in certain communication systems and cryptography. In this paper, a construction of balanced quaternary sequences with period N ≡ 2(mod 4) and optimal autocorrelation value and a construction of almost balanced binary sequences with period N ≡ 0(mod 4) and optimal autocorrelation value are presented. Both constructions are a generalization of earlier ones.
