Odd-periodic low/zero ambiguity zone: Theoretical Bounds and Optimal Constructions
摘要
Sequences play an important role in communication and radar systems, where related theoretical bounds serve as benchmarks to access the designed sequences. This paper first studies the odd-periodic ambiguity function (OPAF) of sequence sets and derives a theoretical lower bound of its magnitude. Based on the even-odd transformation, the relationship between the periodic ambiguity function and the odd-periodic ambiguity function is established. Furthermore, we construct two classes of odd-periodic sequences that achieve the optimal zero ambiguity zone (ZAZ) by leveraging the properties of known sequences and quadratic functions. Finally, we present a class of low ambiguity zone (LAZ) sequence sets by using certain cubic functions, which is asymptotically optimal with respect to the derived bound.
