The bandwidth of the filters is usually determined by the spectrum of 
the useful signal (although sometimes you use what's on hand), but it is 
also true that the bandwidth of the actual received signal is determined 
by the filters.

The (purely hypothetical) case in which signal and noise are generated 
separately is the same as the addition of any two signals. The bandwidth 
of the sum is the overlap of the bandwidth of the signals being added.
