of digital transmission
• (i) an error will be introduced in the decision-making device at the receiver
output. The receiver can make an error in deciding whether it has received a
binary logic l or a binary logic 0.

• (ii) data transition jitter may occur which has an effect on the symbol timing
and clock recovery circuit. If it is excessive, it may significantly degrade the
performance of cascaded regenerative repeaters.

• (iii) when digital pulses from more than one source are multiplexed together,
the amplitude, frequency, and phase responses become even more critical.

• (iv) ISI causes crosstalk between channels that occupy adjacent time slots in
a time-division multiplexed (TDM) carrier system.
• One possible solution to reduce inter symbol
interference is to use a [(sin x)/x] pulse instead of a
rectangular-shaped pulse waveform which can
produce even a zero ISI. This is known as Nyquist
pulse shaping.
• An alternate solution to reduce ISI is to use the
raised-cosine filter.
• Equalization is used to minimize intersymbol
interference arising due to transmission of digital
data in time-dispersive channels.
