Properties of Complementary Pairs of Sequences
- Complementary sequences have complementary spectra. As the autocorrelation function and the power spectra form a Fourier pair complementary sequences also have complementary spectra. But as the Fourier transform of a delta function is a constant we can write
- where CS is a constant.
- Sa and Sb are defined as a squared magnitude of the Fourier transform of the sequences. The Fourier transform can be a direct DFT of the sequences, it can be a DFT of zero padded sequences or it can be a continuous Fourier transform of the sequences which is equivalent to the Z transform for Z = ejω.
- CS spectra is upper bounded. As Sa and Sb are non-negative values we can write
- also
- If any of the sequences of the CS pair is inverted (multiplied by −1) they remain complementary. More generally if any of the sequences is multiplied by ejφ they remain complementary;
- If any of the sequences is reverted (inverted in time) they remain complementary;
- If any of the sequences is delayed they remain complementary;
- If the sequences are interchanged they remain complementary;
- If both sequences are multiplied by the same constant (real or complex) they remain complementary;
- If both sequences are decimated in time by K they remain complementary. More precisely if from a complementary pair ((a(k), b(k)) we form a new pair (a(Nk), b(N*k)) with zero samples in between then the new sequences are complementary.
- If alternating bits of both sequences are inverted they remain complementary. In general for arbitrary complex sequences if both sequences are multiplied by ejπkn/N (where k is a constant and n is the time index) they remain complementary
- A new pair of complementary sequences can be formed as and where denotes concatenation and a and b are a pair of CS;
- A new pair of sequences can be formed as {a b} and {a −b} where {..} denotes interleaving of sequences.
- A new pair of sequences can be formed as a + b and a − b.

“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (16321704)
