Question

Q2) The result of a single pulse (impulse) transmission is a received sequence of samples (impulse response), with values 0.1, 0.3,-0.2, 1.0, 0.4, -0.1, 0.1, where the leftmost sample is the earliest. The value 1.0 corresponds to the mainlobe of the pulse, and the other entries correspond to the adjacent samples. Design a 3-tap transversal equalizer that forces the ISI to be zero at one sampling point on each side of the mainlobe. Calculate the values of the equalized output samples at times . After equalization, whatis the largest magnitude sample contributing to ISI, and what is the sum of all the ISI magnitudes?

Explanation / Answer

A sequence of samples (impulse response) which is given as :

0.1, 0.3, -0.2, 1.0, 0.4, -0.1, 0.1

where, leftmost sample is the earliest.

We know that, the value 1.0 corresponds to the mainlobe of a pulseand the other entries correspond to an adjacent samples.

(a) To design a 3-tap transversal equalizer that forces the ISI to be zero at one sampling point on each side of the mainlobec which will be given below as -

[ 0 ] = [ 1        -0.2        0.3 ] [ C-1 ]

[ 1 ] = [ 0.4        1        -0.2 ] [ C0 ]

[ 0 ] = [ -0.1     0.4           1 ] [ C1 ]

(b) Assuming that the filter taps are C-1 = 0.2593, C0 = 0.8347 and C1 = 0.3079.

Each sample can be calculated from the following equation -

Z (-4) = [ 0.1          0             0 ]

Z (-3) = [ 0.3         0.1             0 ]

Z (-2) = [ -0.2         0.3       0.1 ]

Z (-1) = [ 1            -0.2         0.3 ] [ 0.2593 ]

Z (0) = [ 0.4            1          -0.2 ] [ 0.8347 ]

Z (1) = [ -0.1         0.4             1 ] [-0.3079 ]

Z (2) = [ 0.1         -0.1          0.4 ]

Z (3) = [ 0         0.1             0 ]

Z (4) = [ 0             0 0.1 ]

Therefore, Z (-1) = 0 , Z (0) = 0 and Z (1) = 0
