Each component sequence is placed in a circular shift register with length equal to the<br />

component length and clocked at the chip rate. The T4B composite code is formed from the<br />

combination of the shift register outputs using the following formula:<br />

C = sign(<br />

4C1<br />

+ C2<br />

− C3<br />

− C4<br />

+ C5<br />

− C6<br />

)<br />

The output of each shift register is fed back to the input, such that each component repeats<br />

itself with period equal to the component length. Figure 2-2 shows a functional block<br />

diagram of the T4B <strong>PN</strong> code generation.<br />

Because of the sign function, the value of the composite code C in the formula above can be<br />

interpreted as being determined by votes from the six component sequences (the negative<br />

sign simply means that the component sequence is inverted). C1 is multiplied by four, and<br />

thus has four ‘votes’, while the other five components only have one vote. Since the C1<br />

component is the range clock component, the T4B code has a relatively strong clock<br />

component.<br />

where the combined sequence is C = sign(4C1+ C2 − C3 − C4 + C5 − C6)<br />
