We determine the autocorrelations of the quaternary sequence over F4 and its modified version introduced by Du et al. [X.N. Du et al., Linear complexity of quaternary sequences generated using generalized cyclotomic classes modulo 2p, IEICE Trans. Fundamentals, vol.E94-A, no.5, pp.1214-1217, 2011]. Furthermore, we reveal a drawback in the paper aforementioned and remark that the proof in the paper by Kim et al. can be simplified.
