A matched filter maximises

  • A.The signal-to-noise ratio at the sampling instant
  • B.The bandwidth available to the signal
  • C.The phase linearity of the channel
  • D.The number of harmonics passed to the detector

Answer: A

The matched filter is the one whose impulse response is the time-reverse of the expected pulse, and it maximises the signal-to-noise ratio at the instant the output is sampled, which is exactly what minimises the probability of a detection error. It does not widen the available bandwidth; if anything it restricts the noise bandwidth to what the signal needs. Phase linearity is a channel property. And passing more harmonics would admit more noise for no gain in signal.
