The present invention relates to a method for shortening the time taken for physical random access channel (PRACH) signal synchronization and preamble sequence detection in an LTE uplink system, and more particularly, to a method for shortening the time taken for preamble sequence detection using an inverse discrete Fourier transform. To this end, a preamble sequence detection apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a reference signal generation unit, which receives a first signal having a predetermined value, generates a preamble sequence, performs a discrete Fourier transform, a subcarrier mapping, and an inverse discrete Fourier transform on the generated preamble sequence, and then expands the resultant signal at a set rate to quantize the resultant signal; a PRACH reception unit which receives a PRACH signal transmitted from a terminal; and a correlation unit which detects a correlation between the reference signal received from the reference signal generation unit and a signal received from the PRACH reception unit. |
