In this paper for the linear congruent generator

zN + 1 = G (zN), N = 1,2, ... ,

where G(x) = λx + c (mod W), W = pF, p is a prime number, we find a non-trivial lower bound for the least non-zero wave number eL(λ), the fundamental characteristic introduced in the spectral test to check for randomness on the base of analysis of the frequence of occurrences of L-tuples (t1, ... ,tL) in the sequence (zN).

The lower bound obtained is of the form W1/L– δ, where δ is some variable explicitly depending on parameters which determine the factor λ. Under an appropriate choice of the parameters, δ can be made as small as desired. The factor 1/L cannot be changed for a greater one. Such bounds are necessary in studying classes of multipliers that pass the spectral test.
