Codebooks with good parameters are preferred in many practical applications, such as direct spread CDMA communications and compressed sensing. In this letter, an upper bound on the set size of a codebook is introduced by modifying the Levenstein bound on the maximum amplitudes of such a codebook. Based on an estimate of a class of character sums over a finite field by Katz, a family of codebooks nearly meeting the modified bound is proposed.
