Matched Filter

• Detection of pulse in presence of additive noiseReceiver knows what pulse shape it is looking for

Channel memory ignored (assumed compensated by other means, e.g. channel equalizer in receiver)

Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with zero mean and

variance N0 /2

Matched Filter• Given transmitter pulse shape g(t) of duration T, matched filter

is given by hopt(t) = k g*(T-t) for all kDuration and shape of impulse response of the optimal filter is

determined by pulse shape g(t)

hopt(t) is scaled, time-reversed, and shifted version of g(t)

• Optimal filter maximizes peak pulse SNR

Does not depend on pulse shape g(t)

Proportional to signal energy (energy per bit) Eb

Inversely proportional to power spectral density of noise
