Interpolation algorithm of Zadoff-Chu sequence

HF channel sounding requires perfect auto-correlation property of the sounding sequences. Compared with other pseudonoise sounding sequences, Zadoff-Chu sequence gets great attention due to its predominant periodic autocorrelation property. In order to adapt the spectrum property of Zadoff-Chu sequence to the requirement of HF channel sounding transmitter-receiver, the Formula Direct Interpolation Algorithm (FDIA) is put forward by which the amplitude frequency characteristic of Zadoff-Chu sequence can be enhanced. Then the comparison of spectra of the sequences respectively interpolated by FDIA and commonly used interpolation algorithm is conducted, which affirms the superiority of FDIA. Finally, an effective method of achieving best decimation of the sequence interpolated by FDIA is provided. All these lay primary theory foundation for the application of Zadoff-Chu sequence to HF channel sounding.
