Spectrum of a periodic data pulse train |
If we now consider the Fourier series expansion of a train of pulses
representing successive data bits, we find (see examples) that the amplitudes of the
frequency components are all constrained by a general spectral
envelope which passes through zero at multiples of the data pulse width t.

This spectral envelope is given by the equation:which is usually termed the sinc function. |
