MT Apply Matched Filter (CPM)

Applies a matched filter to a specified CPM-modulated waveform. The node first performs phase differentiation followed by matched filtering on the phase of the input complex waveform. The node returns the matched filtered output with a duration equal to an integer number of symbols, thus ensuring continuability from one iteration to the next.

Use MT Align To Ideal Symbols to locate and realign the matched-filtered waveform at the ideal symbol timing instant.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

input complex waveform

The continuous-time modulated complex baseband waveform data.

Note The sample rate of the input complex waveform must be an even integer multiple of the samples per symbol value. Use MT Resample (Complex Cluster) to adjust the sample rate before matched filter application.
datatype_icon

t0

Trigger (start) time of the Y array.

Default value: 0.0

datatype_icon

dt

Time interval between data points in the Y array.

Default value: 1.0

datatype_icon

Y

The complex-valued signal-only baseband modulated waveform. The real and imaginary parts of this complex data array correspond to the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) data, respectively.

datatype_icon

matched filter coefficients

An ordered array containing sample-spaced coefficients for the desired matched filter. Wire the matched filter coefficients parameter of MT Generate Filter Coefficients to this parameter. Ensure that the value of samples per symbol matches the matched samples per symbol value used to generate the filter coefficients.

You can also specify custom matched filter coefficients.
Note This node does not verify the absence of intersymbol interference in custom filter coefficients before applying the matched filter.
datatype_icon

samples per symbol

Number of samples per information symbol in the input complex waveform.

Default value: 16

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Default value: No error

datatype_icon

reset?

A Boolean that determines whether the node continues matched filtering using the previous iteration states.

TRUE Resets the matched filtering process.
FALSE Continues performing matched filtering from the previous iteration. Matched filtering begins from the last iteration state on subsequent calls.

Default value: TRUE

datatype_icon

output phase waveform

The output matched filtered continuous-time phase waveform.

datatype_icon

t0

Trigger (start) time of the Y array.

Default value: 0

datatype_icon

dt

Time interval between data values in the Y array.

Default value: 1.0

datatype_icon

Y

The complex-valued signal-only baseband modulated waveform. The real and imaginary parts of this complex data array correspond to the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) data, respectively.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
