DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A PSEUDO-RANDOM SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS

摘要

A device for generating a pseudo-random sequence of numbers comprises a feedforward device (1) and a feedback device (8) that is connected between an input (6) and an output (7) of the feedforward device (1). The feedback device comprises a variable feedback property (9, 10) and is designed for modifying the feedback property (9, 10) according to a state of one memory device (4) among the number of memory devices of the feedforward device (1). The inventive device can be conveniently implemented with regard to hardware and furnishes pseudo-random sequences with a long period and a high linear complexity.
