A Novel Two-Parametric ISI-Free Pulse Based on Inverse Hyperbolic Functions

Abstract

In this letter, a new two-parametric pulse that outperforms state-of-the-art pulses with the best performance in terms of BER is proposed, which is studied in terms of frequency and time domain characteristics. Specifically, the pulse is based on the inverse-hyperbolic functions acsch and asech which are used for the first time for an ISI-free pulse, and its design depends only on the roll-off factor and the timing jitter parameter (i.e., two-parametric design). Finally, the proposed pulse is shown to outperform most of the well-known pulses reported in the literature, since it presents lower error probability, smaller maximum distortion and wider eye-diagram.
