摘要

Chaotic sequences have been widely used as pseudorandom sequences. However, how to judge whether their autocorrelation performance is good remains a problem because we have no simple method for assessing and improving the autocorrelation performance. Using a phase space method, we have discovered that the autocorrelation performance of a chaotic sequence is determined by whether its phase space trajectory is axis symmetrical, and have deduced theorems to describe and solve these problems. This paper presents a simple yet effective method to assess and improve the autocorrelation performance of chaotic sequences. Several simulations are presented to validate the theorems and method.
