While molecular communication via diffusion experiences significant inter-symbol interference (ISI), recent work suggests that ISI can be mitigated via time differentiation pre-processing which achieves pulse narrowing. Herein, the approach is generalized to higher order differentiation. The fundamental trade-off between ISI mitigation and noise amplification is characterized, showing the existence of an optimal derivative order that minimizes the bit error rate (BER). Theoretical analyses of the BER and a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio are provided, the derivative order optimization problem is posed and solved for threshold-based detectors. For more complex detectors which exploit a window memory, it is shown that derivative pre-processing can strongly reduce the size of the needed window. Extensive numerical results confirm the accuracy of theoretical derivations, the gains in performance via derivative pre-processing over other methods and the impact of the optimal derivative order. Derivative pre-processing offers a low complexity/high-performance method for reducing ISI at the expense of increased transmission power to reduce noise amplification.
