Generalized Arlery-Tan-Rabaste-Levenshtein Lower Bounds on Ambiguity Function and Their Asymptotic Achievability

This paper presents generalized Arlery-Tan-Rabaste-Levenshtein lower bounds on the maximum aperiodic ambiguity function (AF) magnitude of unimodular sequences under certain delay-Doppler low ambiguity zones (LAZ). Our core idea is to explore the upper and lower bounds on the Frobenius norm of the weighted auto- and cross-AF matrices by introducing two weight vectors associated with the delay and Doppler shifts, respectively. As a second major contribution, we demonstrate that our derived lower bounds are asymptotically achievable with selected Chu sequence sets by analyzing their maximum auto- and cross- AF magnitudes within certain LAZ.
