A receiver may be operable to receive a QAM-based, inter- symbol correlated (ISC) signal at a signal-to-noise ratio of between 29 dB and 31dB and process the QAM- based, ISC signal to output estimated symbols at a symbol error rate of between 2x10-1 and 1x10-3. The QAM-based, ISC signal may be a partial response signal generated by passing a first signal through a partial response pulse shaping filter. The partial response pulse shaping filter may provide greater capacity than a capacity achieved by passing the first signal through a root-raised-cosine-based pulse shaping filter. The receiver may comprises an input filter, and the processing of the QAM-based, ISC signal may comprises filtering the QAM-based, ISC signal via a filter configured to achieve a desired total partial response in combination with the partial response pulse shaping filter. |
