Detailed Description

template<class T1>
class itpp::Raised_Cosine< T1 >

Raised Cosine (RC) Pulse Shaper.

Upsamples and shapes symbols as raised cosine pulses with a given roll-off factor $ \alpha $. The raised cosine pulse shape is defined as:

\[ p(t) = \frac{\sin(\pi t / T)}{\pi t / T} \frac{\cos(\alpha \pi t / T)}{1 - (2 \alpha t / T)^2} \]

For more details see e.g. Lee & Messerschmitt, p. 190. Observe that the shaping is done with a FIR filter where the size is given by filter_length * over_sample_factor + 1. The first samples in the output will therefore be zero or small before the memory of the filter is filled.

What is important, when using RC shaping in a transmission system with the AWGN channel, the mean power of the output samples is not normalised, so the channel noise variance (or shaped signal) should be scaled appropriately.

The class is templated as follows: T1 is the type of the input and the output samples. An example of usage is:

#include "itpp/itcomm.h"
Raised_Cosine<double> rc(0.5, 6, 8);
BPSK bpsk;
vec symbols, samples;
symbols = bpsk.modulate_bits(randb(20));
samples = rc.shape_symbols(symbols);

Member Function Documentation

void itpp::Pulse_Shape< T1, double , T1 >::set_pulse_shape ( const Vec< double > &  impulse_response,
int  upsampling_factor 
)
inherited

Set the general impulse response of the FIR filter.

Observe that the pulse shape must have a duration of an integer number of symbols. Thus the length of the impulse response-1 modulo over sampling is an integer.
