Raised Cosine Spectrum
We may overcome the practical
difficulties encountered by increasing the bandwidth
of the filter.
Instead of using
1
p( f ) 2W W f
0 W
| f | W
we use
1 W f
p( f ) p( f 2W ) P( f 2W )

The frequency characteristic consists of a flat
amplitude portion and a roll-off portion that has a
sinusoidal form. The pulse spectrum p(f) is specified
in terms of a roll off factor as follows:
1
0 f f1
2
1 W W
f1 f 2W f1
p( f ) 1 sin( f
4W 2W 2 f1
0 f 2W f1
The frequency parameter f1 and bandwidth W are related
by
1 f1 /W

where is the rolloff factor. It indicates the excess
bandwidth over the ideal solution (Nyquist channel)
where W=1/2Tb.
The transmission bandwidth is (1 )W

The frequency response of at 0, 0.5 and 1 are shown in
graph below. We observed that at 1 and 0.5, the
function P(f) cutoff gradually as compared with the ideal
Nyquist channel and is therefore easier to implement in
practice.

The time response p(t) is obtained as
cos(2Wt )
p(t) (sin c(2Wt))(1 16 2W 2 t)

The function p(t) consists of two parts. The first part is a
sinc function that is exactly as Nyquist condition but the
second part is depended on . The tails is reduced if is
approaching 1. Thus, it is insensitive to sampling time
errors.
