Concept:

A Raised Cosine Filter is a type of filter used in digital communication systems to shape the transmitted signal spectrum and reduce intersymbol interference (ISI).

The filter is characterized by a roll-off factor \( \beta \) and a symbol rate Rs.

Definition:

The roll-off factor \( \beta \) defines how much excess bandwidth is used beyond the Nyquist bandwidth (Rs/2)

The roll-off factor lies between \( 0 \leq \beta \leq 1 \), where:

  • β = 0: Ideal brick-wall filter (practically unrealizable)
  • β = 1: Maximum bandwidth usage (100% excess)

Formula for Bandwidth:

The total bandwidth (BW) of a raised cosine filter is given by:

\( BW = \frac{R_s}{2}(1 + \beta) \)

Where:

  • \( R_s \) = symbol rate
  • \( \beta \) = roll-off factor
