Simulate matched filter system with SRRC filtering

Key focus: Let’s learn how to simulate matched filter receiver with square root raised cosine (SRRC) filter, for a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) system. Simulation Model A basic pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) system as DSP implementation, is shown in Figure 1 by adding an upsampler (), pulse shaping function () at the transmitter and a … Read more

Square-root raised-cosine pulse shaping

Raised-cosine (RC) pulse shaping filter is generally employed at the transmitter. In time domain, a matched filter at the receiver is the mirrored copy of the impulse response of the transmit pulse shaping filter.

In square-root raised cosine (SRRC) filtering, the task of raised cosine filtering is equally split between the transmit and receive filters. The combined impulse response of two SRRC filters is same as the impulse response of the RC filter

Discrete-time communication system model

Key focus: Baseband communication system and its equivalent DSP implementation (discrete time model) with a pulse shaping & matched filter is briefly introduced. If a train of pulses representing an information sequence need to be sent across a band-limited dispersive channel, the bandwidth of the channel should be large enough to accommodate the entire spectrum … Read more
