Download the repository or clone it with git, after cd in directory build it from source with

python setup.py install

Examples

Example 1: 5-bit LFSR with feedback polynomial x^5 + x^2 + 1

# import LFSR
import numpy as np
from pylfsr import LFSR

L = LFSR()

# print the info
L.info()

5 bit LFSR with feedback polynomial  x^5 + x^2 + 1
Expected Period (if polynomial is primitive) =  31
Current :
State        :  [1 1 1 1 1]
Count        :  0
Output bit   : -1
feedback bit : -1
L.next()
L.runKCycle(10)
L.runFullCycle()
L.info()

Example 2**: 5-bit LFSR with custum state and feedback polynomial

state = [0,0,0,1,0]
fpoly = [5,4,3,2]
L = LFSR(fpoly=fpoly,initstate =state, verbose=True)
L.info()
tempseq = L.runKCycle(10)
L.set(fpoly=[5,3])

Example 3 ## To visualize the process with 3-bit LFSR, with default counter_start_zero = True

state = [1,1,1]
fpoly = [3,2]
L = LFSR(initstate=state,fpoly=fpoly)
print('count \t state \t\toutbit \t seq')
print('-'*50)

Example 6 ## testing the properties

state = [1,1,1,1,0]
fpoly = [5,3]
L = LFSR(initstate=state,fpoly=fpoly)
result  = L.test_properties(verbose=2)

Output

1. Periodicity
------------------
 - Expected period = 2^M-1 = 31
 - Pass?:  True

2. Balance Property
-------------------
 - Number of 1s = Number of 0s+1 (in a period): (N1s,N0s) =  (16, 15)
 - Pass?:  True

3. Runlength Property
-------------------
 - Number of Runs in a period should be of specific order, e.g. [4,2,1,1]
 - Runs:  [8 4 2 1 1]
 - Pass?:  True

4. Autocorrelation Property
-------------------
 - Autocorrelation of a period should be noise-like, specifically, 1 at k=0, -1/m everywhere else
 - Pass?:  True

==================
Passed all the tests
==================

Testing individual property

# get a full period sequence
p = L.getFullPeriod()
p
array([0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0,
       0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0])
L.balance_property(p.copy())
# (True, (16, 15))

L.runlength_property(p.copy())
# (True, array([8, 4, 2, 1, 1]))

L.autocorr_property(p.copy())[0]
#True

Example 7 ## testing the properties for non-primitive polynomial

state = [1,1,1,1,0]
fpoly = [5,1]
L = LFSR(initstate=state,fpoly=fpoly)
result = L.test_properties(verbose=1)

Output

1. Periodicity
------------------
 - Expected period = 2^M-1 = 31
 - Pass?:  False

2. Balance Property
-------------------
 - Number of 1s = Number of 0s+1 (in a period): (N1s,N0s) =  (17, 14)
 - Pass?:  False

3. Runlength Property
-------------------
 - Number of Runs in a period should be of specific order, e.g. [4,2,1,1]
 - Runs:  [10  2  1  1  2]
 - Pass?:  False

4. Autocorrelation Property
-------------------
 - Autocorrelation of a period should be noise-like, specifically, 1 at k=0, -1/m everywhere else
 - Pass?:  False

==================
Failed one or more tests, check if feedback polynomial is primitive polynomial
==================

Example 8**: Get the feedback polynomial or list

Reference : http://www.partow.net/programming/polynomials/index.html

L = LFSR()
# list of 5-bit feedback polynomials
fpoly = L.get_fpolyList(m=5)

# list of all feedback polynomials as a dictionary
fpolyDict = L.get_fpolyList()

Changing feedback polynomial in between

L.changeFpoly(newfpoly =[23,14],reset=False)
seq1 = L.runKCycle(20)

# Change after 20 clocks
L.changeFpoly(newfpoly =[23,9],reset=False)
seq2 = L.runKCycle(20)

MATLAB

For matlab files download it from here

Folder : https://github.com/Nikeshbajaj/Linear_Feedback_Shift_Register/tree/master/matlabfiles

Description Genrate randon binary sequence using LFSR for any given feedback taps (polynomial), This will also check Three fundamental Property of LFSR

  1. Balance Property
  2. Runlength Property
  3. Autocorrelation Property

This MATLAB Code work for any length of LFSR with given taps (feedback polynomial) -Universal, There are three files LFSRv1.m an LFSRv2.m, LFSRv3.m

LFSRv1

This function will return all the states of LFSR and will check Three fundamental Property of LFSR (1) Balance Property (2) Runlength Property (3) Autocorrelation Property

EXAMPLE

s=[1 1 0 0 1]
t=[5 2]
[seq c] =LFSRv1(s,t)

LFSRv2

This function will return only generated sequence will all the states of LFSR, no verification of properties are done here. Use this function to avoid verification each time you execute the program.

EXAMPLE

s=[1 1 0 0 1]
t=[5 2]
[seq c] =LFSRv2(s,t)

LFSRv3 (faster)

seq = LFSRv3(s,t,N) this function generates N bit sequence only. This is faster then other two functions, as this does not gives each state of LFSR

EXAMPLE

s=[1 1 0 0 1]  
t=[5 2]
seq =LFSRv3(s,t,50)
