Abstract

An algorithm called a Hamming scan was developed recently for obtaining sequences with large merit factors and is adopted here to obtain such sequences within which there are nontrivial segments of large merit factors. Correlative detection of the return signal can be based simultaneously on the entire sequence and its segments with large merit factors. Such a coincidence detection scheme can be characterized by a Schur merit factor of the sequence. Sequences with large Schur merit factors are listed.
