1.1 Inter Symbol Interference: Intersymbol Interferencce

Inter symbol interference occurs due to the bandlimited nature of transmission channels, which causes transmitted pulses to spread and overlap into adjacent time slots. This overlapping of signals can result in errors at the receiver in determining which pulse was transmitted, especially in the presence of noise and other impairments. This effect of pulse overlap making it difficult to discriminate between symbols is termed inter symbol interference. Techniques like coherent demodulation, which uses carrier phase information, and non-coherent demodulation, which does not use phase information, can be used but involve different tradeoffs between complexity and error tolerance.

1 Inter Symbol Interference


Due to the fact that the transmission channels are bandlimited, the
transmitted pulses tend to spread during transmission. This pulse
spreading or dispersion causes overlap of pulses into adjacent pulse time
t
slots. This signal overlap may result in an error at the point where the
receiver makes a decision as to which pulse has been transmitted,
especially when other impairments are present (such as noise,
Intersymbol
interference).
Interferencce
This effect of pulse overlap and the resultant difficulty of discriminating
between symbols at the receiver are termed inter symbol interference (ISI).
(U need to include points about how ISI can be reduced)
Coherent Demodulation

Non coherent demodulation

It needs carrier phase information to recover


the transmitted data at the receiver end.

It doesnt need carrier phase information

Coherent detection is complex

It is simple

Coherent detection is less prone to errors.

More prone to errors
