Overview

Wiener filters expect the signal to be noise like.  Therefore, the shape of the Power Spectral Density of the signal must be determined.  There is a situation where Wiener filter theory can be used to design a Wiener filter if there are two sources from which a deterministic signal + noise or a random signal + noise are available.  For example, one of the signals is from a pitch angle sensor and the other signal is from a pitch rate sensor.  The second pitch angle is found by integrating the pitch rate signal.  The Complimentary Filters are:

From the circuit above:

          

Of course,

             

The equivalent new block diagram using (3) is:

The filter works quite well if  is “low” frequency noise compared to noise . For design purposes, is considered as the desired signal and  is considered the noise going into the Wiener filter, .  Notice that the desired signal, , does not pass through the filter; hence, the estimated desired signal, , is not delayed or phase shifted relative to .
