The main step in this technique is the design of an auxiliary Nyquist filter, which has good robustness to timing jitter, using a novel windowing method. The transition band of the equiripple filter is then shaped according to that of this auxiliary filter. The resulting filter takes advantage of the minimax principle for obtaining satisfactory stopband performance and the windowing method for obtaining good robustness to timing jitter. Notable features of the proposed technique are simplicity and flexibility. Examples show superior performance compared with the truncated raised cosine pulse as well as other existing techniques. © 1998 IEEE.Data transmissionEquiripple filtersNyquist filtersTiming jitterArticle000077331300026
