The recangular waveform is a single-carrier modulation scheme filtering the communication
symbols with rectangle pulse shape:

.. list-table:: Pulse Properties

   * - .. plot::

            import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
            from hermespy.modem import RectangularWaveform

            waveform = RectangularWaveform(oversampling_factor=16, symbol_rate=1e6, num_preamble_symbols=1, num_data_symbols=0)
            waveform.plot_filter()
            plt.show()

     - .. plot::

            import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
            from hermespy.modem import RectangularWaveform
            
            waveform = RectangularWaveform(oversampling_factor=16, symbol_rate=1e6, num_preamble_symbols=1, num_data_symbols=0)
            waveform.plot_filter_correlation()
            
            plt.show()

The waveform can be configured by specifying the number of number of data- and preamble symbols
contained within each frame, as well as the considered symbol rate:

.. literalinclude:: ../scripts/examples/modem_waveforms_rect.py
   :language: python
   :linenos:
   :lines: 17-24

Afterwards, additional processing steps such as synchronization, channel estimation, equalization,
and the pilot symbol sequence can be added to the waveform:

.. literalinclude:: ../scripts/examples/modem_waveforms_rect.py
   :language: python
   :linenos:
   :lines: 26-38

In order to generate and evaluate communication transmissions or receptions, waveforms should be added to :class:`modem<hermespy.modem.modem.BaseModem>` implementations.
Refer to :doc:`modem.modem.TransmittingModem`, :doc:`modem.modem.ReceivingModem` or :doc:`modem.modem.SimplexLink` for more information.
For instructions how to implement custom waveforms, refer to :doc:`/notebooks/waveform`.
