In a first step, slot synchronization may be obtained by setting in correlation the received signal with a primary sequence, which represents the primary channel, and storing the received signal. During a second step, the correlator may be re-used for correlating the received signal with a secondary sequence corresponding to the secondary synchronization codes. The correlator may include a first filter and a second filter connected in series, which receive a first secondary sequence and a second secondary sequence, which may include Golay sequences. Architectures of parallel and serial types, as well as architectures designed for reusing further circuit parts are also disclosed. The invention is particularly applicable in mobile communication systems based upon standards such as UMTS, CDMA2000, IS95, and WBCDMA.
