摘要

We derive new bounds on the periodic (cyclic) total squared correlation (PTSC) of binary antipodal signature sets for any number of signatures K and any signature length L. Optimal designs that achieve the new bounds are then developed for several (K, L) cases. As an example, it is seen that complete (K = L + 2) Gold sets are PTSC optimal, but not, necessarily, Gold subsets of K < L + 2 signatures. In contrast, arguably against common expectation, the widely used Kasami sets are not PTSC optimal in general. The optimal sets provided herein are in this sense better suited for asynchronous and/or multipath code-division multiplexing applications.
