The merit factor problem is of considerable practical interest to communications engineers and theoretical interest to number theorists. For binary sequences, although it is generally believed that the merit factor is bounded, it still has not been completely established that the number of even length Barker sequences, each with merit factor N , is bounded. In this paper, we present an overview of the problem and results of quite extensive searches we have conducted in lengths up to slightly beyond 200.
