A High-Speed Low-Cost Millimeter Wave System With Dual Pulse Shaping Transmission And Symbol Rate Equalization Techniques

A millimeter wave system with commercially available and affordable data conversion devices is presented in this paper for achieving high-speed and low-cost wireless communications. By adopting the proposed dual pulse shaping (DPS) transmission scheme, the system can achieve full Nyquist rate transmission with only half of the sampling rate required by conventional Nyquist pulse shaping. Structures of the DPS transmitter and receiver are described and effective symbol rate equalization techniques suitable for DPS transmission are presented. Simulation results with two sets of practical dual spectral shaping pulses are also provided to compare system performance with the conventional Nyquist pulse shaping system.
