Depends on Eb/No
Error performance Degradation
Eb is bit energy and can be described as
signal power S times the bit time Tb. N0 is
noise power spectral density, and can be
described as noise power N divided by
bandwidth W.
Power spectral density (PSD) is the average
power, Px of a real- valued power signal x(t),
defined over the interval/ period.
Where the time average is taken over the
signal period T0 as follows:
Error performance Degradation
Since the bit time and bit rate Rb are
reciprocal, we can replace Tb with 1/Rb and
write
and
Probability Density Function (pdf)
From the decision-making criterion,
where
ai is signal component
0 is variance of the output noise
Correlation realization of the
matched filter
Matched filters basic property:
The impulse response of the filter is a
Correlator
The mathematical operation of correlator is
correlation a signal is correlated with a replica
itself.
The output is approximately a linear ramp during the
interval 0 t T
Matched Filter versus Conventional Filters
In general
Conventional filters : isolate & extract a high
fidelity estimate of the signal for presentation
to the matched filter
