Synchronization device for digital communications

摘要

A synchronization device includes a first section for generating a predetermined signal. A second section is operative for detecting a correlation between a received signal and the predetermined signal generated by the first section for every sample interval. A third section is operative for selecting a correlation from among correlations detected by the second section for sample intervals of equal time positions in successive symbol intervals respectively. The correlation selected by the third section has a given order number regarding an order in which the correlations are arranged according to magnitude.
