Precoding for partial response signaling schemes

Introduction to precoding Intersymbol interference (ISI) is a common problem in telecommunication systems, such as terrestrial television broadcasting, digital data communication systems, and cellular mobile communication systems. Dispersive effects in high-speed data transmission and multipath fading are the main reasons for ISI. To maximize the capacity, the transmission bandwidth must be extended to the entire … Read more

Partial response schemes: impulse & frequency response

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 … Read more

Partial response (PR) signaling Model

Consider the generic baseband communication system model and its equivalent representation, shown in Figure 1, where the various blocks in the system are represented as filters. To have no ISI at the symbol sampling instants, the equivalent filter should satisfy Nyquist’s first criterion. If the system is ideal and noiseless, it can be characterized by … Read more
