The matched filter is a linear filter that provides maximum output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a given symbol waveform in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The impulse response of the matched filter is the time-reversed, conjugate of the transmitted signal. The matched filter operates by correlating the received signal with a time-shifted version of the transmitted signal.

• In order to detect a signal at the receiver, a linear filter that is designed to
provide the maximum output SNR in AWGN for a given symbol waveform is used.This filter is called a “matched filter”
• If the transmitted signal is s(t), the impulse response of the matched filter can be shown to be
This assumes that s(t) exists only for a duration of T seconds.
Let us look at the output for k = 1. The output of the matched filter is the cross-correlation of the received signal and the time shifted transmitted signal.
