  • Abstract
    The question of whether uniform Huffman (impulse equivalent) sequences exist is discussed, and some necessary conditions for a Huffman sequence to be uniform are mentioned. A comprehensive search revealed that no uniform Huffman sequences exist from lengths 4 to 17, inclusive. A procedure is described for synthesizing pairs of Huffman sequences whose cross-correlations are approximately uniform and, incidentally, are also themselves Huffman sequences.
