摘要
Binary m-sequences are maximal-length sequences generated by shift registers of length m, that are employed in navigation, radar, and spread-spectrum communication, It is well known that given a pair of distinct m-sequences, the crosscorrelation function must take on at least three values, This correspondence addresses a conjecture made by Helleseth in 1976, that if m is a power of 2, then there are no pairs of binary m-sequences with a 3-valued crosscorrelation function. This conjecture is proved under the assumption that the three correlation values are symmetric about -1.
