Consider a transmitted BPSK signal that uses the 25% excess bandwidth Root
Raised Cosine pulses (you can use the definition in Wikipedia, where beta=0.25).
Using MATLAB or your favorite programming language, plot the RF modulated BPSK

Problem 6:
Consider the pulse below, plotted versus time in microseconds. Could this pulse
be a Nyquist pulse for a binary transmission with a 10MHz data rate? Why or
why not?
