Polyphase sequences with low aperiodic autocorrelation levels, assessed in terms of the integrated sidelobe level (ISL), can be applied in many engineering fields, such as radars, sonars, and code-division multiple access communication systems. In practice, a polyphase sequence that is optimal in some sense (for example, minimum ISL) could be significantly distorted, thus reducing the detection performance of the radar system. Hence in this article, we focus on designing ISL minimization-based polyphase sequences with spectral distortion taken into consideration, where we first derive an expression for the ISL under spectral distortion, i.e., distorted ISL (DISL), and then we propose an iterative algorithm based on majorization-minimization framework to solve the DISL minimization problem. The proposed algorithm is proved to be nonincreasing and is guaranteed to converge to a stationary point. A variety of design results utilizing the proposed algorithm in different scenarios are presented and compared with those by other methods or some known sequences. The proposed algorithm is proved to be effective to design polyphase sequences with low DISL.
