            Abstract : 
An 8-tap programmable analogue matched filter, based on hybriding surface-acoustic-wave and microelectronic techniques, has been fabricated, utilising quartz and four diode rings per tap. This device has demonstrated the ability to process both periodic phase-shift-keyed (p.s.k.) coded wave-forms for synchronisation acquisition and aperiodic p.s.k. orthogonal codes for data transfer.
