Abstract :
This paper describes a method for finding code/filter pairs with very low mismatch filter losses. These losses remain nearly constant with changing filter length. In addition it has been found that substantial improvements in sidelobe levels are obtained. The filter performance of these codes is compared to the filter performance of known codes.
