Impulse response and frequency response of PR signaling schemes
Consider a minimum bandwidth system in which the filter is represented as a cascaded combination of a partial response filter
and a minimum bandwidth filter
. Since
is a brick-wall filter, the frequency response of the whole system
is equivalent to frequency response of the FIR filter
, whose transfer function, for various partial response schemes, was listed in Table 1 in the previous post (shown below).

The hand-crafted Matlab function (given in the book) generates the overall partial response signal for the given transfer function . The function records the impulse response of the
filter by sending an impulse through it. These samples are computed at each symbol sampling instants. In order to visualize the pulse shaping functions and to compute the frequency response, the impulse response of
are oversampled by a factor
. This converts the samples from symbol rate domain to sampling rate domain. The oversampled impulse response of
filter is convolved with a sinc filter
that satisfies the Nyquist first criterion. This results in the overall response
of the equivalent filter
(refer Figure 2 in the previous post).
This article is part of the book Wireless Communication Systems in Matlab, ISBN: 978-1720114352 available in ebook (PDF) format (click here) and Paperback (hardcopy) format (click here).
The Matlab code to simulate both the impulse response and the frequency response of various PR signaling schemes, is given next (refer book for the Matlab code). The simulated results are plotted in the following Figure.
