●In absence of noise, the o/p due to signal at the end of the
pulse duration is S o1 (T) or S o2 (T) for i/p signal S 1 (t )= +v

transmitted when o/p v o (T) is closer to S o1 (T) than S o2

1. A matched filter is kind of an averaging filter.
2. It maximizes SNR of received signal.
3. Minimizes BER of received signal.
4. Its time domain shape is the time reversed replica of the tra
5. Integrate and dump filters is a matched filter only for square
The impulse response is a time-reverse and delayed version of the input signa
s(t); that is, it is matched to the input signal. So it is called a matched filter.
