Second Nyquist Criterion
The solution is to find a pulse p(t) that satisfies the condition specified above but
decays faster than 1/t. The solution is to design raised cosine filter which has
transfer function consists of a flat portion and a roll off portion which is of
sinusoidal form and the bandwidth to be adjustable between B0 and 2B0

Where

For that the Impulse response P(t) is given by

 is called the roll off factor (The ratio of the excess bandwidth to the
theoretical minimum bandwidth)
Excess BW

The following figures illustrates the raised cosine spectral characteristics and the
corresponding pulses for  = 0, 0.5 and 1.
Since we are sampling below the Nyquist rate 2Rb, the shifted transforms
opverlap.

The transmission bandwidth required can be obtained from the relation

B=2B0 -f1
Where

B =transmission bandwidth
B0 = Nyquist bandwidth
But

Which results
B=2B0 -B0 (1   )

B=B0 (1   )
