The index defines the tap positions (or characteristic polynomial) of a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR).  When the polynomial is primitive, the LFSR goes through all possible states before repeating, thus creating a psuedo random binary sequence (PRBS). A curious property is that if the tap positions are reversed, as we are doing in this problem, then the output sequence is also reversed.","description_html":"\u003cdiv style = \"text-align: start; line-height: 20.44px;

The index defines the tap positions (or characteristic polynomial) of a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR).  When the polynomial is primitive, the LFSR goes through all possible states before repeating, thus creating a psuedo random binary sequence (PRBS). A curious property is that if the tap positions are reversed, as we are doing in this problem, then the output sequence is also reversed.","description_html":"\u003cdiv style = \"text-align: start; line-height: 20.44px;
