Synchronization equipment

摘要

A synchronization equipment performs correlation processing between a first known pattern included in a received signal and a second known pattern, and detects reception timing of the received signal. A correlation value computing portion (3) computes a correlation value between the first known pattern and the second known pattern at every reception time. A reception timing detection portion (108) compares the computed related value with a predetermined threshold value, determines the reception time when the correlation value becomes larger than the threshold value to be the reception timing of a received signal, and, after this determination, suspends the comparison between the correlation value and the threshold value, and holds the reception time determined to be the reception timing.
