Pulse position

A matched filter correlates a received signal with a known template, concentrating the pulse energy into a single sharp peak while averaging noise away. It gives the best possible detection in white noise — the core of radar, sonar, and GPS. Educational tool.

Governing equation

h (t) = s (T - t), y (t) = \int x (τ) s (τ - t) d τ, \hat{t} = 0.56 T

Reading this result: The pulse is buried, but correlation adds its energy coherently while random noise averages toward zero — the peak still clears the detection threshold.
