Abstract

Based on the inverse Gray mapping and sign alternation transform, a new family of quaternary sequences with optimal odd-periodic autocorrelation magnitude has been constructed by using the Legendre sequence pair, twin-prime sequence pair and GMW sequence pair. In this paper, we use the correlation properties of the Legendre sequence pair, twin-prime sequence pair and GMW sequence pair to determine the lower bound of 4-adic complexity of these quaternary sequences, as well as show that these quaternary sequences have large 4-adic complexity.
