This paper propose a new type of analog adaptive filter derived as a generalization of the concept of matched filter. We conceive such a filter to track the instantaneous frequency of frequency modulated signals. Some properties of the proposed analog frequency tracking filter are established using the time-frequency representations theory. A constructive solution, based on common analog integrated circuits, is also proposed. The performance of the analog frequency tracking filter built is evaluated by measurements. Finally, some possible applications are highlighted
