On the convolutional square root of a Nyquist pulse

Wireless Personal Communications Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

An explicit formula is developed for the pulse which, when convolved with itself, yields the well-known quasibandlimited Nyquist pulse for data transmission. As expected, the newly derived pulse produces zero intersymbol interference at theoutput of a filter matched to itself. Comparisons are offered with the well-known class of root raised cosine pulses.
