The matched filter improves the SNR by reducing the noise's spectral bandwidth to that of the wavelet, and in addition, reduces the noise within the wavelet's bandwidth by the shape of the wavelet's spectrum.

Does filtering improve SNR?
Through the magic of filtering (not necessarily matched filtering), it is possible to enhance the relative strength of the signal components as compared to the noise components, thereby effectively increasing the SNR.
What is the purpose of a matched filter?
The matched filter is the optimal linear filter for maximizing the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the presence of additive stochastic noise. Matched filters are commonly used in radar, in which a signal is sent out, and we measure the reflected signals, looking for something similar to what was sent out.
Which of the following is an advantage of using a matched filter?
The advantages of matched filter are shown below. This filter enhances the signal-to-noise ratio by decreasing the spectral bandwidth of noise & additionally it decreases the noise in the bandwidth wavelet through the wavelet spectrum shape.
Is a matched filter autocorrelation?
In a simple radar ranging system, if the data contains a single “target,” the output of the matched filter (not including noise) is the autocorrelation function of the transmitted waveform, time-shifted to where the target is located in time.
