Causes of ISI
Imperfections in the overall
frequency response of the system.
When short pulse is transmitted,
frequency components are
differentially attenuated and
differentially delayed by the system.
Pulse appears to be dispersed.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth of the signal is
equal to symbol rate for low
pass signals
twice of the symbol rate for
band pass signals
Disadvantages of Square
pulse
Square pulse is difficult to crate in
time domain because of the rise time
and decay time.
Its frequency response goes on
forever and decays slowly.
Very sensitive to ISI.
Solution ?
Nyquist offered ways to build realizable
pulses that had a good quality as sinc
pulse and has less disadvantages.
One class of pulse offered was raised
cosine pulses.
Sinc pulse has bandwidth, W= 1/2Ts,
while raised cosine pulses have
adjustable Bandwidth between W to 2W.
