            Abstract : 
The raised-cosine pulse-shaping filter plays an important role in digital communications due to its intersymbol interference (ISI)-free property. The ISI-free property holds after matched filtering is performed. In this letter, we propose a new family of pulse-shaping filters. These filters are ISI free with or without matched filtering. Using these new pulse-shaping filters, the computational load, and therefore the hardware cost in demodulation for modem design, might be reduced in some applications
