Constructions of Two-Dimensional Golay-ZCZ Array Sets Based on Generalized Boolean Functions

Golay sequences with the zero correlation zone (ZCZ), known as Golay-ZCZ sequences, play a pivotal role in reducing intersymbol interference (ISI) during the process of channel estimation in one dimension. Two-dimensional (2-D) Golay complementary array set (GCAS) within their ZCZ has the potential application in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) omnidirectional transmission. In this letter, 2-D Golay-ZCZ array set is constructed by using generalized Boolean function (GBF) without utilizing any kernels. The proposed construction provides 2-D Golay-ZCZ array set with various array sizes and large ZCZ sizes. Also, we get the one dimensional (1-D) Golay- ZCZ sequence set as a special case of the proposed construction.
