EVALUATION OF THE POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY OF GUIDED SCRAMBLING CODED SEQUENCES

The authors develop a practical method of evaluating the power spectra l density of guided scrambling line-coded sequences, Analysis of block -coded signals is reviewed, and it is shown that it is impractical to analyse continuous guided scrambling coded sequences with expressions presented elsewhere in the literature. Alternative expressions for seq uence autocorrelation are derived which depend on the relationship of several code parameters. Two relationships are considered in detail, a nd it is shown how expressions derived in these instances can be appli ed to other guided scrambling codes. Using these expressions, spectral characteristics of several continuous guided scrambling codes are eva luated. These spectra demonstrate the important result that variation in average statistics of the coded sequences with varying source-strea m statistics decreases as the degree of the scrambling polynomial incr eases.
