Pulse Shaping Filter for EDGE

Started by Nitin Nangare April 17, 2002
Hello I am looking for the "Pulse Shaping Filter"
implemetation in matlab for the EDGE (Enhanced
Datarate For GSM) standard.

Can anybody help me in this matter.

Thanks in Advance.

A traditional 8-PSK system uses raised-cosine filtering to remove
intersymbol interference (ISI). You can use the FIRRCOS (Raised Cosine FIR
Filter design) command.

However, as you may (or not) know, using this approach, a one-to- one
correlation exists between the required bandwidth and the target symbol rate
with no intersymbol interference. For example, a minimum of 270.833 kHz RF
bandwidth is required to deploy a system that uses GSMs 270.833-kHz symbol
rate. Although ISI is eliminated using raised cosine filtering, 200 kHz of
channel spacing results in a symbol rate less than 200 kHz the 8-PSK
signal with raised-cosine filtering does not fit within 200 kHz of
bandwidth.

In order to achieve the desired symbol rate, a more severe filtering
approach is required one that yields poorer performance with regard to
ISI. EDGE makes this trade-off, resulting in a conservation of bandwidth at
the expense of ISI.

The following link explains this in more detail and has a useful reference
for the filter. You can use the equations given in the paper to implement
your filter if the raised-cosing is inadequate for your needs.
