Near-optimal peak sidelobe binary codes

This paper describes an integer programming method for generating low autocorrelation binary codes at arbitrary bit lengths. PSL values and merit factors (for bit lengths 71 through 100) of the sequences obtained with this method were compared to the best literature-based minimal-PSL sequences. At 74 bits, a new minimal-PSL value was obtained. That result was combined with the best results reported in the literature to produce a minimal-PSL binary sequence table for bit lengths 71 through 100.
