Pushing the Limits: Unlocking the Potential of Faster-than-Nyquist Signaling (opens in new tab)

Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling is gaining attention as a smart way to pack more data into limited spectrum by intentionally breaking the traditional symbol-spacing rules. This article takes a fresh look at FTN's potential to boost capacity, examining how performance varies across different acceleration factors and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) definitions. Beyond the theory, we explore what it takes to make FTN work in practice, such as dea...
