An apparatus for generating a preamble sequence in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system using A subcarriers in a frequency domain. A preamble sequence generator generates a length-M+N+k preamble sequence, where M+N+k is less than A, by combining a length-N Golay complementary sequence with a length-M Golay complementary sequence. An inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) processor assigns elements constituting the preamble sequence to the M+N+k subcarriers among the A subcarriers on a one-to-one mapping basis, assigns null data to remaining subcarriers excluding the M+N+k subcarriers from the A subcarriers, and then IFFT-transforms the assigned result into time-domain data.
