Hi everyone, I need help in autocorrelation. I have generated a particular sequence code, C of period 15 and need to find its autocorrelation. I need to get the values at given lags from i = 0 to i = 15. For example when i = 0, it's a perfect autocorrelation (no lag) so I should get the peak value of the autocorrelation here. Theoretically, this value should be equal to 1. But what I got was more that. Subsequently, I got a constant value (which was lower than the peak) when there is lag. Theoretically, I should be getting a constant 0 value... What I did was multiply C by a cyclic shift of it for each lag. What did I do wrong or forgot? Really need suggestions.... Thanks in advance!

Hi katrina, I do not really understand what you mean (my English is no that good). Could you send the sequence and describe a little more what you intend to do? What kind of process is it and what are you using to calculate the autocorrelation? I guess you are using xcorr, or have you done your own code?

I'm just guessing here, but it sounds as if you have a non-zero average value in C when you expected C to be zero-mean. Is the constant value at lags not equal to zero positive or negative?

Hi Katrina! It is all about a LFSR(4) sequence (I suppose) that (theoretically) has properties you are describing: normalized ACF(0) = 1, ACF(<>0) = 0. But it is only for bipolar sequence of infinit length. If the sequence is bipolar, length N then normalized ACF(<>0) = -1/N. If ACF(0) <> 1, then you have to normalize it.
