Abstract

The windmill technique has several practical advantageous over other techniques for high-speed generation or blockwise generation of pn-sequences. In this paper we generalize previous results by showing that if f(t)=α(t v) − β(t −v)t L is the minimal polynomial of a pn-sequence, then the sequence can be generated by a windmill generator. For L = 1,..127, and ν = 4, 8, 16 such that L ≡ ±3 mod 8 no irreducible polynomials f(t) were found. When L ≡ ±1 mod 8 the number of primitive f(t)’s was found to be approximately twice the expected number.
