It's non-linear of course and originally analogue in nature (though software version exist). It's all a matter of definitions. No way does it come under the current LMS FIR category but under perhaps an earlier Analogue genre - maybe. It could be looked at in the basic form as a tracking band-pass filter. Hardy

In a band that could change over time. The signal could have a constantly changing frequency and waveform and lock in filtering would still work as long as the reference changed along with the signal. Match filtering could also be made to work on wave form that changed with each pulse or cycle. The difference is that without a known phase angle match filtering has less information to begin with and therefore cannot reduce noise as much as PPL. Bret Cahill |
