<p>An apparatus and method for performing coarse frequency synchronization in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver includes cyclically shifting a received signal X(k) by a predetermined shift amount d , determining the length of a summation interval according to a phase coherence bandwidth and a number K of sub-bands into which the summation interval is divided, generating and adjusting a symbol time offset according to the number K of sub-bands, generating a weighted phase reference signal Z(k) which is phase-shifted by the symbol time offset and weighted by a weighting vector determined according to a frequency band, partially correlating the shifted signal X(k+d) and the weighted phase reference symbol Z(k) and calculating a partial correlation value for each of the K sub-bands; and determining the shift amount d max at a maximum sum of the partial correlation values and outputs the shift amount d max as an estimated coarse frequency offset.</p> |
