Random geometric series and intersymbol interference
Francis S. Hill, M. Blanco · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 1973
An interesting and long-standing problem in probability theory is surveyed, and its applications to analyzing the effects of intersymbol interference in digital transmission systems are discussed. Old and new results are presented which enable one to obtain analytical forms for the probability density function of the intersymbol interference in special eases. The probability of error is then computed and compared with some popular upper bounds.
