The cross-correlation of a few Walsh-Hadamard sequences are very good, nearly ideal, but some are bad having very large sidelobes. Does somebody know a systematic way to construct, or even a good table of, a PN sequence that when overlayed with Walsh-Hadamard sequences, say the 64-ary ones, the resulting 64 sequences will have, if not ideal, at least uniformly low cross-correlation? Thank you

The Walsh system is orthogonal hence the cross correlation is exactly zero.> Does > somebody know a systematic way to construct, or even a good table of, > a PN sequence that when overlayed with Walsh-Hadamard sequences, say > the 64-ary ones, the resulting 64 sequences will have, if not ideal, > at least uniformly low cross-correlation?This sounds like very general question.

This situation is avoided in the communication systems since it results in the tremendous drop in the channel capacity. IIRC the theoretical limit for this case is only 18% of Shannon.

If the signals can slide in the time domain arbitrarily, then they have to occupy the different frequency bands. The worst case cross correlation equals to the amount of overlap of the time-frequency patterns. In the other words, you have to design the sequences so their spectra would have the controlled amount of overlap. Fourier series are the immediate solution.
