Abstract :
An n-phase Barker sequence can be easily distinguished from the time-shifted versions of itself. This property is important for such applications as radar systems, synchronization systems, and spread-spectrum communications systems. The authors study some transformations on n-phase Barker sequences. Also, they give an efficient algorithm for finding sextic Barker sequences. Through an exhaustive computer search, numerical data for n-phase Barker sequences are given. Specifically, they extend the list of known n-phase Barker sequences to length L=19
