Octary Codewords With Power Envelopes Of 3∗2M, Katherine M. Nieswand, Kara N. Wagner Jul 1998

Octary Codewords With Power Envelopes Of 3∗2M, Katherine M. Nieswand, Kara N. Wagner

Department of Math & Statistics Technical Report Series

This paper examines codewords of length 2m in Z8 with envelope power maxima of 3 ∗ 2m. Using the general form for Golay pairs as a base, a general form is derived for the set of coset leaders that generate these codewords. From this general form it will be proven that there exists at least one element in the coset that achieves a power of 3 ∗ 2m for each m-even and m-odd case.
