New Sets of Even-Length Binary Z-Complementary Pairs With Asymptotic ZCZ Ratio of 3/4

This letter is focused on increasing the zero correlation zone (ZCZ) of even-length binary Z-complementary pairs (EB-ZCPs). Till date, the maximum ZCZ ratio (i.e., ZCZ width over the sequence length) for systematically constructed EB-ZCPs is 2/3. In this letter, we give a construction of EB-ZCPs with lengths 2(alpha+2)10(beta)26(gamma) + 2 (where alpha, beta, and gamma are nonnegative integers) and ZCZ widths 3 x 2(alpha)10(beta)26(gamma) + 1, thus achieving asymptotic ZCZ ratio of 3/4. The proposed EB-ZCPs are constructed via proper insertion of concatenated odd-length binary ZCPs. The ZCZ width is proved by exploiting several newly identified intrinsic structure properties of binary Golay complementary pairs, obtained from Turyn's method. The proposed EB-ZCPs have aperiodic autocorrelation sums (AACS) magnitude of 4 outside the ZCZ region (except for the last time-shift taking AACS value of zero).
