Lower bounds on the maximum cross correlation of signals (Corresp.)

Welch, L.·1974·IEEE Transactions on Information Theory

Abstract

Some communication systems require sets of signals with impulse-like autocorrelation functions and small cross correlation. There is considerable literature on signals with impulse-like autocorrelation functions hut little on sets of signals with small cross correlation. A possible reason is that designers put too severe a restriction on cross correlation magnitudes. This correspondence establishes lower bounds on how small the cross correlation and autocorrelation can simultaneously be.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
