An Integrated Sequence Construction of Binary Zero-Correlation Zone Sequences

The present paper introduces an integrated construction of binary sequences having a zero-correlation zone. The cross-correlation function and the side-lobe of the auto-correlation function of the proposed sequence set is zero for the phase shifts within the zero-correlation zone. The proposed method enables more flexible design of the binary zerocorrelation zone sequence set with respect to its member size, length, and width of zero-correlation zone. Several previously reported sequence construction methods of binary zero-correlation zone sequence sets can be explained as special cases of the proposed method. key words: binary sequence, zero-correlation zone, Hadamard matrix, sequence design, mutually orthogonal complementary sets
