For partial response CPM, the value of h somewhat higher then 0.5 makes for lower autocorrelation floor. The difference could be ~1..2dB. The intuitive explanation is if you choose h higher then 0.5, then the "average" signal is going to be closer to h=0.5 .

If the spectrum is unacceptable then you can either back off the transmit power (very costly), reduce the symbol rate (longer transmit time), or change the waveform to something with autocorrelation sidelobes such as CPM. It would take some experimentation or a good simulation to figure out which is better from an end-to-end link budget standpoint. John John |
