Faster than Nyquist Signaling

This book addresses the challenges and design trade-offs arising during the hardware design of Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling transceivers. The authors describe how to design for coexistence between the FTN system described and Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, enabling readers to design FTN specific processing blocks as add-ons to the conventional transceiver chain.

• Provides a comprehensive introduction to Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling transceivers, covering both theory and hardware implementation;
• Enables readers to design systems that achieve bandwidth efficiency by making better use of the available spectrum resources;
• Describes design techniques to achieve 2x improvement in bandwidth usage with similar performance as that of an OFDM system.
