Findings
The measure correlates with sequence unpredictability.
It effectively quantifies randomness in PN sequences.
Comparison shows advantages over fractional representation.
Abstract
This note examines the question of randomness in a sequence based on the continued fraction (CF) representation of its corresponding representation as a number, or as D sequence. We propose a randomness measure that is directly equal to the number of components of the CF representation. This provides a means of quantifying the randomness of the popular PN sequences as well. A comparison is made of representation as a fraction and as a continued fraction.
