I do know from personal experience that an IR remote control unit
such as the Siemens SFH506 (admittedly a slightly different device)
can go from "flaky" to "fantastic" when a 100Ohm/100uF filter is
added to keep the device's voltage up.
Hope this helps...

You might check the archives of comp.robotics.misc. I recall severalI just hooked up a Sharp GP2D12 IR range sensor to a scope and saw
that the output is very noisy. The sensor updates at 25Hz so I was
thinking that if I were to add some kind of 25Hz low pass filter to
the output that would clean things up.
