Matched Filtering DC Noise Out

Started by Bret Cahill September 18, 2009
If the noise includes some DC it seems that a matched filter would
treat it as a zero frequency "curve" and eliminate it in the
convolution along with all the higher frequency noise.

What noise? What filter? Who chose the "match"? Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. �����������������������������������������������������������������������

If the noise includes some DC it seems that no one has any fucking idea what 
the fuck I'm talking about.  I mean, there's no context or background, just 
a bunch of rambling text posting to a random newsgroup for no reason, just 
because I have a brain the size of a gnat's rectum (or perhaps smaller) I 
mean Jesus Christ what's wrong with me?

The noise that got into the original signal has some AC and a DC offset. Matched filtering should eliminate the DC as well as the AC. Bret Cahill

How can a matched filter eliminate in-band noise? DC or AC? -- Eric Jacobsen Minister of Algorithms Abineau Communications http://www.abineau.com

It depends on who determines what is a "match". Consider the nopass filter.

That's someone else's issue. The immediate issue here is if can you assume DC to be a zero frequency AC as far as matched filtering is concerned. If convolution in the time domain amounts to multiplication in the frequency domain then, at first glance, DC or square wave noise should be filtered along with the AC noise.. Bret Cahill
