Abstract
In this paper, a general orthogonal transformation on the optimal quaternary sequence Families \({\mathcal{B}}\) and \({\mathcal{C}}\) is presented. Consequently, the known optimal Family \({\mathcal{D}}\) and a new optimal Family \({\mathcal{E}}\) are produced in a uniform method. In contrast to the known optimal Family \({\mathcal{D}}\) , the new Family \({\mathcal{E}}\) has the same parameters such as the sequence length 2(2n − 1), the family size 2n, and the maximal nontrivial correlation value \({2^{\frac{n+1}{2}}+2}\) , where n is a positive integer, but with a different correlation function.
