In this paper, we propose a cascading electronic codec based on a recursive algorithm for the generation of perfect sequences, derived from an Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) of Golay codes. The sequences generated have a low Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), around 3 dB, which is the PAPR of a sine wave. The proposal is compared to the original Golay codes, verifying that our codec provides better crosscorrelation and autocorrelation results, crucial to gain immunity to multi-path interference.engOrthogonal perfect DFT Golay codesjournal article
