Problem 13
The following is a system diagram for a 3-bit linear feedback shift register:
as
ao
output
a. If you were to start with 100 (aoa1a2, ao = 1, a1 = a2 = 0), show that the linear feedback shift register returns to the same value (100). Show the values of taps (ao, a1, a2) for every shift step. What is the period (number of shifts required to return to the same value)?
b. Find the value of autocorrelation, R(n), for shift (n) in one period of the output stream emerging from the shift register for n = 0, 1, and 3. N denotes the period of the linear feedback shift register.
R(n) = s[m]s[m + n] / N, where m = 1
