We review the constructions of two main kinds of generalized cyclotomic binary sequences with length pq (the product with two distinct primes). One is the White-generalized cyclotomic sequences, the other is the Ding-Helleseth(DH,for short)-generalized cyclotomic sequences. We present some new pseudo-random properties of DH-generalized cyclotomic sequences using the theory of character sums instead of the theory of cyclotomy, which is a conventional method for investigating generalized cyclotomic sequences.
