What is roll-off factor in filters?

A raised cosine filter response is wider than the ideal low-pass filter, due to the transition band. This excess frequency bandwidth is controlled by a parameter called the “roll off” factor. The frequency response is plotted for several different roll off factors.

What is a roll-off factor?

Roll-off is the steepness of a transfer function with frequency, particularly in electrical network analysis, and most especially in connection with filter circuits in the transition between a passband and a stopband.

How do you calculate roll-off rate of a filter?

The roll-off rate of the n^th-order filter is 20 × n dB/decade or 6 × n dB/octave, where “n” is the order of the filter (Figure 3). A “sharp” multistage filter may have a roll-off of 20 dB/decade, while a less-sharp single-stage one will have just a 3-dB/decade value.

How do you calculate roll-off factor?

The choice of the roll-off factor Alpha (that belongs to [0,1]) is a trade-off between several parameters : - the bandwidth of the baseband signal is equal to [-(1+ALpha)/2,(1+ALpha)/2] to determine the Spectrum shape of teh modulated signal.
