So I'm pretty confused about something.While studying DFT windowing, I saw
how rectangular window has lowest bandwidth compared to Hanning window(
which is basically raised cosine), but higher side-lobes.
But in all pulse shaping filter tutorials, apart from minimizing ISI they
describe how the bandwidth of the rectangular pulse is almost twice the
raised cosine pulse ( for alpha=0).
What am I doing wrong? This seems very contradictory to me. In both cases
windowing and pulse shaping we are looking are the frequency response
aren't we??Im obviously making some very basic mistake, please enlighten
me.

English is evidently not your first language. Basically, you are
confusing the bandwidth of a pulse with the selectivity of a filter.

Could you please elaborate? In both cases aren't we considering the DFT of
the same time domain waveform?

What cases? A pulse shaped like a raised cosine in the time domain has
much less "splatter" -- broadband energy -- than a rectangular pulse of
the same width. What has that to do with windowing the data fed to a DFT
routine?

>Ok, I think you did not understand my question. However I think I realize
my mistake.
Case 1: I'm comparing the DFT of a rectangular window and a hanning (raised
cosine window).
Case 2: Then I'm comparing the frequency domain of a rectangular pulse to
a raised cosine shaped pulse .
I thought that case 1 and case 2 should have the same results
I think the mistake is that even though the Hanning window is called raised
cosine, its really a truncated raised cosine compared to the shaped raised
cosine pulses used to transmit data.
