Gaussian FIR pulse-shaping filter design

collapse all in page

Syntax

h = gaussdesign(bt,span,sps)

Description

example

h = gaussdesign(bt,span,sps) designs a lowpass FIR Gaussian pulse-shaping filter and returns a vector, h, of filter coefficients. The filter is truncated to span symbols, and each symbol period contains sps samples. The order of the filter, sps*span, must be even.

Open Live Script

Specify that the modulation used to transmit the bits is a Gaussian minimum-shift keying (GMSK) pulse. This pulse has a 3-dB bandwidth equal to 0.3 of the bit rate. Truncate the filter to 4 symbols and represent each symbol with 8 samples.

bt = 0.3;
span = 4;
sps = 8;
h = gaussdesign(bt,span,sps);
fvtool(h,'impulse')

Input Arguments

collapse all

Product of the 3-dB one-sided bandwidth, in hertz, and the symbol time, in seconds. Specify this value as a positive real scalar. Smaller values of bt produce larger pulse widths.

Data Types: double | single

Number of symbols, specified as a positive integer scalar.

Data Types: double | single

Number of samples per symbol period (oversampling factor), specified as a positive integer scalar.

Data Types: double | single

Output Arguments

collapse all

FIR coefficients of the Gaussian pulse-shaping filter, returned as a row vector. The coefficients are normalized so that the nominal passband gain is always 1.

Data Types: double | single
