This problem demonstrates that different LFSRs can be used to generate an m-sequence. a. Assume an initial state of 10000 in the LFSR of Figure 8.16a. In a manner similar to Figure 8.9b, show the generation of an m-sequence. b. Now assume the configuration of Figure 8.16b, with the same initial state, and repeat part (a). Show that this configuration also produces an m-sequence, but that it is a different sequence from that produced by the first LFSR. c. Assume an initial state of 0000 in the LFSR, and show the generation of an m-sequence.
