Matched Filter

An Intuitive Look at Matched Filtering, Part I (PDF) and Part II - By Kevin McClaning. As the title states, a very intuitive explanation of matched filters. Understanding Part I requires only minimal calculus knowledge, but some background in complex numbers. Part II requires background in complex math as well as in digital filtering techniques.
