Abstract

A pair of sequences is called a Golay complementary pair (GCP) if their aperiodic autocorrelation sums are zero for all out-of-phase time shifts. Existing known binary GCPs only have even-lengths in the form of 2 α 10β 26γ (where α, β γ are nonnegative integers). To fill the gap left by the odd-lengths, we investigate the optimal odd-length binary (OB) pairs, which display the closest correlation property to that of GCPs. Our criteria of closeness is that each pair has the maximum possible zero-correlation zone (ZCZ) width and minimum possible out-of-zone aperiodic autocorrelation sums. Such optimal pairs are called optimal OB Z-complementary pairs (OB-ZCP) in this paper. We show that each o..
