Abstract

The (classical) crosscorrelation is an important measure of pseudorandomness of two binary sequences for applications in communications. The arithmetic crosscorrelation is another figure of merit introduced by Goresky and Klapper generalizing Mandelbaum's arithmetic autocorrelation. First we observe that the arithmetic crosscorrelation is constant for two binary sequences of coprime periods which complements the analogous result for the classical crosscorrelation. Then we prove upper bounds for the constant arithmetic crosscorrelation of two Legendre sequences of different periods and of two binary mm-sequences of coprime periods, respectively.
