Abstract

Maximization of the energy transfer ratio for timelimited signals over linear channels is considered. The case of linear channels with rational transfer function is addressed and a general procedure for the analytic solution of the maximization problem is outlined. The maximum energy transfer ratio over a fixed time interval is evaluated in some cases of interest. Two performance metrics-the energy transfer ratio and the energy intersymbol interference (ISI) ratio-are evaluated for optimal signals and compared to those of commonly used rectangular and sinusoidal pulses in order to determine the achievable gain.
