A conference matrix of order n is a square matrix C with zeros on the diagonal and ±1 elsewhere, which satisfies the orthogonality condition CCT = (n — 1)I. If in addition C is symmetric, C =CT, then its order n is congruent to 2 modulo 4 (see [5]). Symmetric conference matrices (C) are related to several important combinatorial configurations such as regular two-graphs, equiangular lines, Hadamard matrices and balanced incomplete block designs [1; 5; and 7, pp. 293-400]. We shall require several definitions.
