Optimized signaling waveforms to reduce the effects of intersymbol interference and timing jitter

The mainlobe energy of a member from the class of symbol waveforms with null derivatives at zero crossings is maximized. Thus, a bandlimited pulse shape without intersymbol interference, robust against jitter and timing errors, is obtained. Comparisons to known pulses show advantages for these signals at the expense of bandwidth, which linearly increases with the number of null derivatives
