A novel design of matched filter for digital receivers

Abstract

In this paper, a brief review regarding introduction to the digital signal processing techniques particularly Digital Pulse Compression and Linear Frequency Modulation involved in matched filtering and some designs being used is presented. Also, the matched filter being developed is discussed by highlighting its pros and cons. The introduction of matched filter in the communication receivers has simplified the design of the system. The matched filter has improved the signal to noise ratio of the receiver system and hence has become an important element in the communication system. This paper also presents the possible challenges; the matched filter design and simulation results in MATLAB have shown satisfactory outputs of the receiver.
