Abstract

A feedback shift register for generating digital signals representing pseudo-random number sequences has n-stages and exclusive OR-circuits in the feedback logic, as well as a clock-pulse generator. To be able to generate digital signals, which are well suited for a further digital processing, the clock-pulse generator (17) is linked with the n-stages (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) of the shift register (10) via a controllable gate circuit (18), which blocks one clock pulse of 2.sup.n clock pulses (CLK) of the clock-pulse generator (17) in each case.
