Comments on "Diffuse sound reflection by maximum length sequences"

Some improvements are suggested to Schroeder's scheme [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 57, 149–150 (1975)] of achieving diffuse sound reflection in concert halls.Subject Classificatio

Block- and strand-multiplexing for fast computation of a class of transforms

The transforms dealt with in this paper are defined in terms of the transform kernels which are Kroneeker products of the two or more component kernels. The signal flow-graph for the computation of such a transform is obtained with the flow-graphs for the component transforms as building blocks

Multilevel aperiodic Huffman sequences

Certain sequences that have zero aperiodic autocorrelation except for zero and the maximum shifts are described. They are useful in radar pulse compression

Two-Dimensional Encoding Masks ror Hadamard Spectrometric Imager

Techniques to improve upon the design of two-dimensional encoding masks for multiplex Hadamard spectrometric imagers are described. The technique to generate masks based on completely orthonormal codes is described. In some cases, selfsupporting masks result which were not previously known. Transmission through the encoding masks (but not necessarily the signalto-noise ratio) can also be increased

Optical Barker sequences and self-orthogonal convolutional codes

The relation between optical Barker codes and self-orthogonal convolutional codes is pointed out. It is then used to update the results in earlier publication

Totally selective convolutional decoding

A modification of the Viterbi decoding algorithm is suggested for faster convergence

Optical Barker codes

Certain binary codes having good autocorrelation properties akin to Barker codes are studied
