Abstract:An improved structure of digital matched filter(DMF)is presented. Two same pseudorandom spreadspectrum sequences with the length of N are used to spread the same baseband symbol at the transmitter, which is equal to spread the baseband symbol with a spreadspectrum sequence with the length of 2N. At the receiver, only a spreadspectrum sequence with the length of N is needed to de spread the data, and then cumulates the two correlation peaks and exports to the output. The detection probability(Pd)and the false alarm probability(Pf)are analyzed and simulated. The improved structure of DMF is implemented based on the recursive and folded principle. Experimental results show that, for the same spread gain, the improved structure has the same Pd and Pf as the basic DMF, while saves the hardware resources greatly compared with the recursive and folded structure.
