Abstract:

Calculations of power and spectral distribution for a particular pseudo-random waveform are presented. Signal-to-noise ratios are derived, and it is shown that the amplifier bandwidth which maximizes the output signal-to- noise ratio is given by 2tau, when tau is the bit length in the pseudo-random sequence.
