Quadriphase sequences with good correlation properties are required in higher order digital modulation schemes, e.g., for timing measurements, channel estimation or synchronization. In this letter, based on interleaving technique and pairs of mismatched binary sequences with perfect cross-correlation function (PCCF), two new methods for constructing quadriphase sequences with mismatched filtering which exist for even length N ≡ 2(mod4) are presented. The resultant perfect mismatched quadriphase sequences have high energy efficiencies. Compared with the existing methods, the new methods have flexible parameters and can give cyclically distinct perfect mismatched quadriphase sequences.

A new class of almost quadriphase sequences with four zero elements of period 4N, where N ≡ 1(mod 4) being a prime, is constructed. The maximum nontrivial autocorrelations of the constructed almost quadriphase sequences are shown to be 4.

Aperiodic quadriphase Z-complementary sequences, which include the conventional complementary sequences as special cases, are introduced. It is shown that, the aperiodic quadriphase Z-complementary pairs are normally better than binary ones of the same length, in terms of the number of Z-complementary pairs, and the maximum zero correlation zone. New notions of elementary transformations on quadriphase sequences and elementary operations on sets of quadriphase Z-complementary sequences are presented. In particular, new methods for analyzing the relations among the formulas relative to sets of quadriphase Z-complementary sequences and for describing the sets are proposed. The existence problem of Z-complementary pairs of quadriphase sequences with zero correlation zone equal to 2, 3, and 4 is investigated. Constructions of sets of quadriphase Z-complementary sequences and their mates are given.

Recently, a family of 4-phase sequences (alphabet {1,j,-1,-j}) was discovered having the same size 2r+1 and period 2r-1 as the family of binary (i.e., {+1, -1}) Gold sequences, but whose maximum nontrivial correlation is smaller by a factor of 2. In addition, the worst-case correlation magnitude remains the same for r odd or even, unlike in the case of Gold sequences. The family is asymptotically optimal with respect to the Welch lower bound on Cmax for complex-valued sequences and the sequences within the family are easily generated using shift registers. This paper aims to provide a more accessible description of these sequences.
