A new efficient method for the design of finite impulse response (FIR)
digital receive filters is proposed. The authors formulate a cost fun
ction which minimises the total mean square error and thus reduces the
effect of channel noise, intersymbol interference (ISI), and adjacent
channel interference (ACI) simultaneously. Also, arbitrary fractional
-sample delay can be compensated. The resulting filters are analysed i
n terms of bit error rate (BER) and implementation loss (IL) performan
ce.
