What is the difference between pulse shaping and equalizers when used to cancel Inter-symbol Interference (ISI)?
According to Nyquist, to transmit R symbols/sec without ISI, the minimum bandwidth required is R/2 Hz, and the sinc pulse shape satisfies this condition.
If we use equalizers instead of pulse ...
