Abstract

Base sequences are quadruples of -sequences, with and of length and and of length , such that the sum of their nonperiodic autocorrelation functions is a -function. Normal sequences are base sequences such that . We introduce a definition of equivalence for normal sequences and construct a canonical form. By using this canonical form, we have enumerated the equivalence classes of for .
