Abstract

The Welch lower bound on the total-squared-correlation (TSC) of binary signature sets is loose for binary signature sets whose length L is not a multiple of 4. Recently Karystinos and Pados [6,7] developed new bounds that are better than the Welch bound in those cases, and showed how to achieve the bounds with modified Hadamard matrices except in a couple of cases. In this paper, we study the open cases.
