A novel codes set is proposed based on the Uniform Cross‐Correlation Modified Prime Code (UCMPC), hereby referred to as Transposed UCMPC (T‐UCMPC). This code set offers higher capacity, better spectral efficiency, lower bit error rate and higher security as compared with the other existing prime codes. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
