Nth-band FIR filters and Nyquist pulse shaping filters are closely
related: Nth-band filter has zero intersymbol interference, i.e., it
satisfies the Nyquist pulse shaping criteria, both in time and frequency
domains.
• Raised-cosine filter is an Nth-band filter.
• Cascade of two root-raised-cosine filters is a special case of
separable Nth-band filters, where both stages have linear phase.
• Nth-band filter design methods can be used for optimizing pulse
shaping filters.
• Later, an example of a two-stage separable Nth-band filter is
shown. In this design, the stages have non-symmetric impulse
responses, but the cascade impulse response is symmetric.
o This is a matched filter pair and could, in principle, be used as RX
and TX filters in a communication system.
o Such a design may result on lower filter orders for given frequency
domain specifications.
o However, non-symmetric transmit filter impulse response
usually increases considerably the peak-to-average power ratio
of the transmitted signal, and is thus not useful in practice.

• In this case, all the poles are on the imaginary axis, and
the first-order section reduces to a pure delay. The
second-order allpass sections are now of the form
a2 + z −2
A ( z) =

HB
1 + a2 z −2
This can be implemented using a first-order allpass section
where each unit delay has been replaced by two delays.
