Abstract: A matched filter contains a plurality of auxiliary sampling and holding circuits in addition to a main sampling and holding circuit containing multiple unit sampling and holding circuits. An auxiliary sampling and holding circuit is used to hold an input voltage, which would ordinarily be held by a unit sampling and holding circuit, when the unit sampling and holding circuit is being refreshed. By holding a part of the analog input voltage in the auxiliary sampling and holding circuits, refreshing is performed without decreasing the overall calculation speed.
