An operational calculus involving ashift operator is developed. The concept of discrete lograithms of binary polynomials is introduced to calculate phaseshifts. The analysis technique is applied to various examples of cellular automata and LFSRs. Phaseshift end effects are observed in cellular automata due to rule configurations. Modified LFSR generators are shown to have potentially more useful outputs than cellular automata, lower circuit complexity, and equivalent phaseshift statistics.
