The Theorem gives a condition for the removal of ISI using a Pr(f) with
a bandwidth larger then rb/2/.
ISI cant be removed if the bandwidth of Pr(f) is less then rb/2.

over one with arbitrarily sharp cut off characteristics.

Dr. Uri Mahlab 30
In practical systems where the bandwidth available for
transmitting data at a rate of rb bits\sec is between rb\2 to rb
Hz, a class of pr(t) with a raised cosine frequency
characteristic is most commonly used.
A raise Cosine Frequency spectrum consist of a flat amplitude portion and a roll off
portion that has a sinusoidal form.

The BW occupied by the pulse spectrum is B=rb/2+|.
The minimum value of B is rb/2 and the maximum value is rb.


Larger values of | imply that more bandwidth is required for a
given bit rate, however it lead for faster decaying pulses, which
means that synchronization will be less critical and will not
cause
large ISI.


| =rb/2 leads to a pulse shape with two convenient properties.
The half amplitude pulse width is equal to Tb, and there are zero
crossings at t=3/2Tb, 5/2Tb. In addition to the zero crossing
at Tb, 2Tb, 3Tb,...
