where h d ( n ) is the sampled version of the impulse response of the cascasde
G ( ) H ( ) F ( ) , that is,
h d ( n )= h c ( nT ) .

representing convolution. The system of Fig. 4.4 can therefore be rep-
resented as in Fig. 4.5, where the additive noise q ( n ) is the sampled version of
q c ( t ) filtered by G ( ) , that is,
q ( n )=( q c
g )( nT ) .

The prefilter F ( ) and equalizer G ( ) can ideally be chosen in such a way
that
h c ( nT )= δ ( n ) ,
(4 . 14)
or equivalently H d ( z )=1 . This is called the zero-forcing (ZF) condition. In
this case we have a system with no intersymbol interference or ISI .That ,
the sample s ( n ) at the receiver is not affected by s ( n − k ) ,k =0 . The only
nonideality in this case is the channel noise q ( n ) . Note that the product
H c ( )= G ( ) H ( ) F ( )
(4 . 15)
need not be identity for the zero-forcing condition to be satisifed. From the
sampling theorem we see that the zero-forcing or ISI-free condition (4.14) is
equivalent to
H c j ω + 2 πk

Figure 4.6(a) shows a typical example of H c ( ) and its shifted versions taking
part in the summation above. If the bandwidth of H c ( )islessthan2 π/T it
is clear that the ISI-free condition (4.16) cannot be satisfied. 1 In a minimum-
bandwidth system, H c ( ) has total bandwidth exactly equal to 2 π/T .Inthis
case the terms in Eq. (4.16) do not overlap, and the only way to satisfy the
ISI-free condition is to force H c ( ) to have the ideal response
H c ( )= T

otherwise,
1 The “bandwidth” includes negative and positive frequencies. Thus the region |ω|≤π/T
corresponds to a bandwidth of 2 π/T.
