Evaluation of the improved parametric linear combination pulse in digital baseband communication systems

Digital baseband communication systems are characterized by having a filter at the transmitter and receiver side to band limit the transmitted signals and diminish the effects to intersymbol interference (ISI). The improved parametric linear combination pulse (IPLCP) is evaluated at the transmitter and receiver side by using different evaluation tools. Eye diagrams are presented to visually evaluate the susceptibility of the transmission system to ISI. The IPLCP outperforms other existing pulses in terms of bit error rate (BER), for various roll-off factors and symbol timing errors.
