A Class of Random Binary Waveforms With Impulse-Like Autocorrelation

Abstract

It is shown that a random binary process with impulse-like autocorrelation can be generated by randomizing the length of symbols occurring in a random Bernoulli process. Such randomization is achieved by random (or judiciously designed irregular) sampling of the output of a source that supplies a symmetric random binary waveform. One practical configuration implementing the proposed technique is a linear-feedback shift register driven by a spread-period clock generator.
