Binary sequence pairs with optimal periodic correlation have important applications in many fields of communication systems. In this letter, four new families of binary sequence pairs are presented based on the generalized cyclotomy over Z5q, where q ≠ 5 is an odd prime. All these binary sequence pairs have optimal three-level correlation values {-1, 3}.

The concept of Gaussian integer sequence pair is generalized from a single Gaussian integer sequence. In this letter, by adopting cyclic difference set pairs, a new construction method for perfect Gaussian integer sequence pairs is presented. Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing perfect Gaussian integer sequence pairs are given. Through the research in this paper, a large number of perfect Gaussian integer sequence pairs can be obtained, which can greatly extend the existence of perfect sequence pairs.

In this paper, a new generalized cyclotomy over Zpq is presented based on cyclotomy and Chinese remainder theorem, where p and q are different odd primes. Several new construction methods for binary sequence pairs of period pq with ideal two-level correlation are given by utilizing these generalized cyclotomic classes. All the binary sequence pairs from our constructions have both ideal out-of-phase correlation values -1 and optimum balance property.

In this letter, a new class of almost binary sequence pairs with a single zero element and three autocorrelation values is presented. The new almost binary sequence pairs are based on cyclic difference sets and difference set pairs. By applying the method to the binary sequence pairs, new binary sequence pairs with three-level autocorrelation are constructed. It is shown that new sequence pairs from our constructions are balanced or almost balanced and have optimal three-level autocorrelation when the characteristic sequences or sequence pairs of difference sets or difference set pairs are balanced or almost balanced and have optimal autocorrelations.

Binary sequence pairs as a class of mismatched filtering of binary sequences can be applied in radar, sonar, and spread spectrum communication system. Binary sequence pairs with two-level periodic autocorrelation function (BSPT) are considered as the extension of usual binary sequences with two-level periodic autocorrelation function. Each of BSPT consists of two binary sequences of which all out-phase periodic crosscorrelation functions, also called periodic autocorrelation functions of sequence pairs, are the same constant. BSPT have an equivalent relationship with difference set pairs (DSP), a new concept of combinatorial mathematics, which means that difference set pairs can be used to research BSPT as a kind of important tool. Based on the equivalent relationship between BSPT and DSP, several families of BSPT including perfect binary sequence pairs are constructed by recursively constructing DSP on the integer ring. The discrete Fourier transform spectrum property of BSPT reveals a necessary condition of BSPT. By interleaving perfect binary sequence pairs and Hadamard matrix, a new family of binary sequence pairs with zero correlation zone used in quasi-synchronous code multiple division address is constructed, which is close to the upper theoretical bound with sequence length increasing.
