What is a Matched Filter?

Explains the Matched Filter from a signals perspective with a Digital Communications example.
Note that in general (for complex valued waveforms) the impulse response of the MF is s*(T-t) . In this video I considered an example of a square pulse shape, which is a real-valued function (ie. zero phase). In this case s*(T-t) = s(T-t) .
