AbstractA basic problem that often arises in the study of

communication system is that of detecting a pulse transmitted
over a channel that is corrupted by channel noise. The
information signal which has been sent from transmitted end is
almost distorted at the receiving end. Thats why a filter known
as MATCHED FILTER or NORTH FILTER is introduced
to reduce these errors in transmission of signal A matched filter
is a used in communication to match a particular transit
waveform. It passes all the signal frequency components while
suppressing any frequency components where there is only noise
and allows to pass the maximum amount of signal power. The
purpose of the matched filter is to provide maximum signal-tonoise power ratio & to minimize the probability of undetected
errors received from a signal. Here in this paper we are going to
conclude performance of a dual channel matched filter or
performance under noisy environment. For better performance
of dual channel matched Filter system with minimum data
input ,low cost & lower SINR under the assumptions of
uncorrelated inputs &known Correlated matrices that the
dual channel matched filter Is equivalent to a single
channel matched filter designed to process both input
signals.

II. NEED OF MATCHED FILTER

A matched filter is a linear filter designed to give maximum
Signal to noise ratio at its output.
X(t)= g(t)+w(t)

y(t)= go (t)+n(t)

Fig 1 Matched filter

Let us consider x(t) as input consisting a pulse signal g(t)

and is corrupted, disturbed and involved with additive noise
w(t). Let us assume that receiver have knowledge of the
waveform of the pulse signal g(t). The source of uncertainties,
doubts and errors lies in the noise w(t) . The receiver detects
the pulse signal g(t) in an optimum manner
III. MATCHED FILTER IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS

I. INTRODUCTION
While studying communication system one of the major
problems arises regarding detection of pulse transmitted over a
noisy channel. This disturbance is due to noise, which is an
unwanted high amplitude short duration signals. This can be
rectified by introducing a filter known as matched filter.[1]
Matched filter is obtained by mutual relation of a known
signal and an unknown signal. This is equivalent to
convolution of one unknown signal with a conjugated timereversed version of the signal (template).
To maximize the Signal to noise ratio (SNR) in presence of
white Gaussian noise matched filter is optimal linear filter.
Basically Matched filters are used in RADAR in which a
known signal is sent out and the reflected signals are examined
for common elements of the outgoing signals. Pulse can be
compressed by matched filter as impulse response is matched
to input pulse signals. In image processing we use two
dimensional matched filter to improve SNR for X-ray.[2]

In communication system binary messages are transmitted

to the receiver across the noise channel in which matched
filter is used to detect the pulses in noisy received signalLet us
take an example .consider we want to send a sequence
"0101100100" coded in non-polarNon-return-to-zero (NRZ)
through a certain channel.[3][4].
A sequence in NRZ code mathematically and can be
described as a sequence of unit pulses or shifted rect
functions, each pulse being weighted by +1 if the bit is "1"
and by 0 if the bit is "0". Formally, the scaling factor for the
kthbit is,

ak=
We can represent our message, M(t), as the sum of shifted
unit pulses:

WhereT is the time length of one bit. Thus,, the signal to be

sent by the transmitter is

If we model our noisy channel as an AWGN channel,

white Gaussian noise is added to the signal. At the receiver
end, for a Signal-to-noise ratio of 3dB[5][6].

III. PERFORMANCE OF A DUAL CHANNEL MATCHED
FILTERSYSTEM

Size,, reduced data and low cost. When estimated

correlation matrices are used in place of true correlation
matrices the dual channel matched filter system Achieves
Nearly the same Normalized SINR as the single Channel With
The Half The secondary data. Here we can say that the single
channel matched filter can be replaced by a Dual channel
matched filter of small

A key element in replacing a single channel system with

a dual channel system the decor relation preprocessing, which
basically requires the introduction of a transformation that
Block diagonalizes the correlation matrix. This requirement
for preprocessing introduces a new challenge: finding a fixed
transformation that block diagon
diagonalizes the family of
correlation matrices of interest and that has an efficient
implementation. Depending on the family of correlation
matrices, such a transformation may or may not exist. Afamily
of matrices that can be efficiently block
blocked [7]-[10].

We have reviewed in this paper that for the better performance

of a dual channel matched filter system we have worked under
the assumption of uncorrelated inputs and known correlated
matrices. we have also assumed that SINRSignal for one
channel is uncorrelated with the input signal for the other
channel. After working on this the author of this paper
developed exact expressions for the normalized SINR as a
function of random
m variables with known distributions than
using a Taylor series expansion.We have got the conclusion
that dual channel matched filter is equivalent to a single
channel matched filter designed to process both input
signal.[11][13]
