Abstract

A digital pulse shaping and phase modulation network is used for reducing out-of-band spectral energy. This network is used in conjunction with a NCO (numerically controlled oscillator) which includes a linear phase input port. This circuit converts rectangular data pulses into a user programmed shape. The shape pulses are then modulated onto the carrier via the linear phase port. Depending on the preprogrammed pulse shape, the out-of-band spectral energy is significantly reduced.
