Binary sequences are widely used in many practical fields, such as radar applications, telecommunications and cryptography. Finding low autocorrelation binary sequences with good peak side-lobe level (PSL) values is a difficult optimization problem. In this paper we present an improved heuristic algorithm for searching low autocorrelation PSL sequences. A heuristic algorithm can find a sequence with a PSL value, which is not necessarily optimal, but is usually near optimal, and the algorithm finds it in a reasonable amount of time. In the experimental work we applied our algorithm to find binary sequences with low PSL values, and made a comparison with the state-of-the-art algorithms from literature. With our algorithm many sequences with the currently best-known PSL values have been improved. We found new sequences with better, i.e., lower, PSL values.
