  2. Spreading sequences:Desirable properties Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  3. Five KEY properties • Sequence Length • Pulse Repetition Frequency • Autocorrelation properties • Periodic autocorrelation (Channel sounding) • Aperiodic autocorrelation (Data mode) • Spectral peak to average ratio (SPAR) • FCC requirements • Temporal peak to average ratio (TPAR) • Power supply requirements Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  4. Periodic Autocorrelation (1) • For channel sounding, a repeated sequence is appropriate. • => Periodic autocorrelation function is the important property for a channel sounding sequence • Ipatov ternary sequences have “perfect” periodic autocorrelation”. i.e. the periodic autocorrelation function is a single pulse at one sample period and zero everywhere else. • m-sequences have “ideal” periodic autocorrelation, i.e. their autocorrelation function is N (the sequence length) at one sample period and -1 everywhere else. Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  5. Periodic Autocorrelation (2) • This means that the output of a correlator operating on repeated Ipatov Transmitted sequences is EXACTLY, the channel impulse repeated, plus noise. • The output of a correlator operating on a repeated m-sequence is CLOSE TO the channel impulse response + noise. Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  6. Example Correlator Outputs Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  7. Aperiodic Autocorrelation • For transmitting data, aperiodic autocorrelation function (AACF) is appropriate. • Previous and next sequences may not be the same. • Good AACF means low ISI • Golay Merit Factor (GMF) is a common measure of goodness of AACF. (Golay 1977) Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  8. Golay Merit Factor • GMF is defined as • where ac is the aperiodic auto correlation function of a length n sequence • The average GMF of binary sequences is 1.0 • Best known GMF for binary sequences is 14.08 for the Barker 13 sequence, next is 12.1 for the Barker 11 sequence. • GMF greater than 6 is rare Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  9. Spectral Peak to Average ratio (SPAR) • In absence of ITU recommendations, use the FCC requirements. • Spectrum measured in 1MHz frequency bins for 1ms intervals. • Need Low SPAR. • SPAR in dBs converts to power backoff required. Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  10. Temporal Peak to Average Ratio • Need low TPAR, otherwise need high voltage power supply. • Best GMF (Infinite) is a single impulse. • Implulse has 0dB SPAR • TPAR of Impulse is worst • Need to balance sequence length and PRF to get a good SPAR and a good TPAR. Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  11. Example sequences • One of the Ipatov length 57 sequences: -0+0--0---+-+-+++++--+++-++0++-0++-+-++-+--0-+++-00--++++ • GMF is 3.75 • A Length 63 m sequence: ------+-+-+--++--+---+--+-++-++---+++-+----++-+-+++--++++-+++++ • GMF is 3.52 • Both of these sequences, if transmitted repeatedly back to back, have a completely flat spectrum • Can be used for data because good periodic ACF means GMF is also quite good. • Still, it could be better. • Ipatov sequences are available at the following lengths: 7,13,21,31,57,73,91,133,183,273,307,381,553,651,757,871,993,1057,1407,1723 Mc Laughlin, Decawave

  12. Sequence length and PRF • If sequence is repeated, spectral lines spaced at the 1/sequence length apart. • Want these to be < 1MHz apart for FCC compliance and low SPAR • Needs to be longer than Channel Impulse Response • e.g. CM8 has significant energy to ~850ns. • For a 1000ns duration sequence, a length 553 Ipatov requires ~10 times lower TPAR than length 57, but ~10 times larger PRF.
