What is the role of 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 known signal is sent out, and the reflected signal is examined for common elements of the out-going signal.
What is matched filter technique?
The matched filter (MF) technique is an optimum method to sense availability of spectrum since the MF can maximize the SNR even if there is additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). This feature is accomplished via correlation process inherent of the method.
How does matched filter increase SNR?
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.
What is a matched filter in radar?
radar engineers call a “matched filter,” which is a filter that maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver output. The matched filter has a precise mathematical formulation that depends on the shape of the input signal and the character of the receiver noise.
