I would like to ask question bout the rrc filter that I applied as an matched filter for receiver side in communication. My aim after RRC filter is to draw the eye diagram, and so far the eye opening is small and I wonder if there are still ISI after applying rrc.
This is my signal qpsk before / after applying RRC.
How do I know if the filter is applied well? How do I know if this signal still has ISI or not by looking at time domain signal? Obviously it seems so, because the eye opening is small.
Another question is, I have read some articles including how to design the filter, but it is still not clear for me how to set the tap(N). I would appreciate if you elaborate more about it.
Thank you in advance.
