transmitted signal
• x(t) is the channel output, the noisy signal arriving at the receiver front end
• The receiver has a receive filter with impulse response c(t) and output y(t)
The scaled pulse µp(t) can be expressed as double convolution: the impulse
response of the transmit filter g(t), the impulse response of the channel filter h(t)
(channel) and the impulse response of the receive filter c(t):
where P(f), G(f), H(f) and C(f) are FT of the respective p(t), g(t), h(t)
and c(t)
• The ISI can be controlled (reduced) by the proper design of the transmit
and receive filter.
FT of an infinite
sequence of delta

period Tb. Rb=1/Tb
bit rate (b/s)
which represents the condition for zero ISI in the frequency domain.
The case when ISI is equal to zero is known as distortion-less
channel.

Assessment Questions
Question #1
• A voice signal in the range 300 to 3300 Hz is sampled at 8000 samples/s.
We may transmit these samples directly as PAM pulses or we may first
convert each sample to a PCM format and use binary (PCM) waveforms
for transmission.
• a) What is the minimum system bandwidth required for the detection of
PAM with no ISI and with a filter roll-off characteristic of r = 1?
• b) Using the same filter roll-off characteristic, what is the minimum
bandwidth required for the detection of binary (PCM) waveforms if the
samples are quantized to eight levels?
• Question #3
• A 300 to 3300 Hz voice signal is sampled at 10 ksamples/s. What is the
minimum transmission bandwidth required to send the PAM samples
without intersymbol interference?
