The device used in the experiments is the 'bladeRF' software-defined-radio platform. PAR is a well-known measurement, whereas the roughness function is a concept for measuring the jitter-induced interference. The experimental results show that the system employing minimum-roughness pulse-shaping SR filters outperforms the system employing minimum-PAR pulse-shaping SR filters in the sense of SER performance.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Systems Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {7}, year = {2016}, pages = {1333 - 1336}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10004935}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/115}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 115, 2016}, }
