Preface
This book is the product of a fruitful collaboration between one of the
earliest developers of the theory and applications of binary sequences with
favorable correlation properties and one of the currently most active younger
contributors to research in this area. Each of us has taught university courses
based on this material and benefited from the feedback obtained from the
students in those courses. Our goal has been to produce a book which achieves a
balance between the theoretical aspects of binary sequences with nearly ideal
autocorrelation functions and the applications of these sequences to signal
design for communications, radar, cryptography, etc. This book is intended for
use as a reference work for engineers and computer scientists in the
applications areas just mentioned, as well as to serve as a textbook for a
course in this important area of digital communications. Enough material has
been included to enable an instructor to make some choices about what to cover
in a one-semester course. However, we have referred the reader to the
literature on those occasions when the inclusion of further detail would have
resulted in a book of inordinate length.
We plan to maintain a website for additions, corrections, and the continual
updating of the material in this book.
