GMW sequences (Corresp.)

Abstract
The difference set design of Gordon, Mills, and Welch (GMW) is adapted for use as a pseudorandom number generator. Statistical properties of the generated binary sequences, including periodic correlation, linear span, andk-tuple statistics, are derived. One mechanization of a GMW sequence generator is suggested, and the number of sequences that can be generated with a fixed number of shift-register stages and read-only memory (ROM) size is evaluated.
