Optimum Performance
To minimize P
E
, must maximize since Q
decreases monotonically as increases
Goal: filter signal to enhance signal and
reduce noise power Matched Filter
Provide maximum signal-to-noise power ratio

Matched Filter
We wish to find the filter transfer function
H
0
(f) that maximises equation (#).
This filter is called the Matched Filter.
For white channel noise, this filter
maximizes the signal amplitude to rms
noise ratio at T.
This is equivalent to minimizing the
probability of error
