What is a composite transfer function?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The composite transfer function F(z) = a0 + a1z-1 + a2z-2 represents the combined effect of the transmitter, channel, and matched filter in an ultra wide band system. To approximate an IIR zero-forcing equalizer, a two tap digital equalizer Heq(z) = w0 + w1z-1 is required. Each component of the system contributes its own transfer function, and the composite transfer function encapsulates their collective behavior.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement



Let F(z) = a0 + a1z-1 + a2z-2 denote the composite transfer function of the transmitter, channel and the matched filter in this ultra wide band system. Find a two tap digital equalizer Heq(z) = w0 + w1z-1 that approximates an IIR zero-forcing equalizer for F(z).

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I just want to know what a composite transfer function is - i'll try the problem myself.

I would suppose that the 3 elements of the system you mentioned, namely the transmitter, the channel and the matched filter each have a transfer function of their own. The composite transfer function would be the overall transfer function of all three operating together.
