The block also already integrates a root raised cosine filter, whose phase bandwidth (roll-off factor) can be given as parameter; in all flow graphs the roll off factor is \(\alpha = 0.35\). -%TODO: Warum alpha 0.35 +% TODO: Warum alpha 0.35 +% +% Because we had no restrictions on bandwidth (except for the physical ones, which are unreachable). Though, we are in the 2.4 GHz spectrum which is pretty crowded. For a sanity check: we are using a very short symbol time of around T = 1 / 1 MHz = 1 us, then the bandwidth with \alpha = 0.35 is B = (1 + \alpha) / (2 * T) = 675 kHz. Pretty small, when compared for ex to WiFi 802.11g channels that are like 20 MHz wide. \section{Receiver chain} |
