Abstract

Complex periodical sequences with lower autocorrelation values are used in CDMA communication systems and cryptography. In this paper we present new nonexistence results on perfect p-ary sequences and almost p-ary sequences and related difference sets by using some knowledge on cyclotomic fields and their subfields.
