AIn [[signal processing]], a '''constantConstant amplitudeAmplitude zeroZero autocorrelationAutoCorrelation waveform''' (abbreviated '''CAZAC''') is a periodic [[complex number|complex]]-valued [[signal (electrical engineering)|signal]] with modulus one and zeroout-of-phase periodic (cyclic) [[autocorrelation]]s equal to zero. CAZAC sequences find application in wireless communication systems, for example in [[3GPP Long Term Evolution]] for synchronization of mobile phones with base stations. [[Zadoff–Chu sequence]]s are well-known CAZAC sequences with special properties.

For a CAZAC sequence of length <math>N</math> where <math>M</math> is relatively prime to <math>N</math> the <math>k</math>th symbol <math>u_k</math> is given by:<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Chu|first=D.|date=July 1972|title=Polyphase codes with good periodic correlation properties (Corresp.)|journal=IEEE Transactions on Information Theory|volume=18|issue=4|pages=531–532|doi=10.1109/TIT.1972.1054840|issn=1557-9654}}</ref>

===Even N===

<math>u_k = \exp \left(j \frac{M \pi k^2}{N} \right)</math>

===Odd N===

<math>u_k = \exp \left(j \frac{M \pi k (k+1)}{N} \right)</math>

==Power Spectrum of CAZAC Sequence==

The power spectrum of a CAZAC sequence is flat.

If we have a CAZAC sequence the time ___domain autocorrelation is an impulse

: <math>r(\tau)=\delta(n)</math>

The discrete fourier transform of the autocorrelation is flat

: <math>R(f) = 1/N</math>

Power spectrum is related to autocorrelation by

: <math>R(f) = \left| X(f) \right|^2</math>

As a result the power spectrum is also flat.

: <math>\left| X(f) \right|^2 = 1/N</math>
