m Sequence (MLS : Maximum Length Sequence)
m-Sequence is a kind of (special kind of) LFSR sequence. So in order for you to understand m-sequence, first you need to understand the concept of LFSR sequence. What is so special about m-sequence comparing to typical LFSR ? If you generate a sequence with LFSR, the output eventually repeats itself. But in most of the application, the purpose is to generate the longest possible non-repeating sequence with a given number of shift registers (Taps). m-Squence is a special type of LFSR which gives the longest non-repeating sequence for each give number of taps. The well-known m-sequence for various taps is shown in the following table.
