I have built a QPSK modulator, but I have some doubts about the Baseband Shaping Filter. The Baseband Filter is a "SRRC Digital Filter" with cutoff at Nyquist / 2 with selectable roll-off. In my project roll-off is 0.35. Example (SAT): 27500 Msymb/s ---> Nyquist Frequency is 55000 Mhz (for I and Q) ---> cutoff Frequency 27500 Mhz. May need to interpolate at least 2 ? Is right ? It is necessary to interpolate in all ways ? How many taps used for filtering ? What window of approximation it up for the calculation of taps filter ? Thanks in advance. Kappa.
