The UCHT (Unified Complex Hadamard Transform) has been proposed as a new family of spreading sequences for DS-SSMA systems recently. In this Letter, the periodic autocorrelation (PAC) properties of the Unified Complex Hadamard Transform (UCHT) sequences are analyzed. Upper bounds for the out-of-phase PAC are derived for two groups of the UCHT sequences, namely the HSP-UCHT and the NHSP-UCHT sequences (the later is a more general representation of the well-known Walsh-Hadamard (WH) sequences). A comparison of the two bounds is performed. It turns out that the HSP-UCHT sequences have a lower upper bound for the out-of-phase PAC. This makes the HSP-UCHT sequences more effective than the WH sequences in combating multipath effect for DS-SSMA systems.
