Intersymbol interference (ISI) occurs in digital communication systems when the symbols or bits of a digital signal overlap with adjacent symbols in time, distorting the received signal. ISI leads to an increase in the bit error rate of the system.

Details
ISI can be mitigated using pulse shaping. Adjusting the end-to-end system to have an approximate raised cosine impulse response is a common method to control ISI. The frequency response and the time domain shape of a raised cosine pulse, that is, impulse response of a raised cosine filter, are given by [1]:

Here is the Nyquist bandwidth and is the roll-off factor.
In this Demonstration, the Nyquist bandwidth .
