Constructing Hadamard Matrices Using Binary Codes, Hizer Leka, Faton Kabashi Oct 2020

Constructing Hadamard Matrices Using Binary Codes, Hizer Leka, Faton Kabashi

UBT International Conference

In this paper is presented a very efficient method for constructing Hadamard matrices, using binary code products. We will construct such matrices using the scalar production of two vectors and the tensor production of Hadamard matrices. This method is based on the representation of the natural number as a binary code which takes only two values 0 or 1. Such a method of generating Hadamard matrices can be used in practice to generate different codes, in telecommunication systems, to correct blocked codes, but also in science as for example in Boolean algebra.
