Comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of methodologies and applications including CDMA telephony, coded radar, and stream cipher generation.
Golomb (U. of Southern California) and Gong (U. of Waterloo, Canada) balance theoretical aspects of binary sequences with nearly ideal autocorrelation functions and the applications of these sequences to signal design for communications, radar, cryptography and other fields. They cover general properties of correlation, applications of correlation
