Abstract: | A communication system for pulse-amplitude-modulated signals is considered whose impulse response is bandlimited. For a certain class of sampling errors the worst case is investigated where the sampling error of the system is such that the least mean square transmission error achieved by a suitable choice of the impulse response becomes maximal. This problem is dualized in the sense of two person game theory and thereby transferred to an equivalent approximation problem for whose solution a necessary and sufficient condition is given and applied to special cases. |
