In signal processing, a Constant Amplitude Zero AutoCorrelation waveform (CAZAC) is a periodic complex-valued signal with modulus one and out-of-phase periodic (cyclic) autocorrelations equal to zero. CAZAC sequences find application in wireless communication systems, for example in 3GPP Long Term Evolution for synchronization of mobile phones with base stations. Zadoff–Chu sequences are well-known CAZAC sequences with special properties.
Example CAZAC Sequence
For a CAZAC sequence of length where is relatively prime to the th symbol is given by:
Even N
Odd N
Power Spectrum of CAZAC Sequence
The power spectrum of a CAZAC sequence is flat.
If we have a CAZAC sequence the time domain autocorrelation is an impulse
The discrete fourier transform of the autocorrelation is flat
Power spectrum is related to autocorrelation by
As a result the power spectrum is also flat.
