ABSTRACT:
Provided is a frame synchronization pattern design and synchronization method by which in a transmitter of a communications system employing an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), a frame synchronization pattern is inserted into the starting part of a symbol frame, and by detecting the frame synchronization pattern in a receiver, synchronization of the OFDM transmitter and receiver is performed. Also, provided are a transmitter synchronization apparatus including an OFDM symbol frame generation unit, a frame synchronization pattern insertion unit, and an OFDM transmission signal conversion unit, and a receiver synchronization apparatus comprising a frame synchronization pattern inserted OFDM symbol frame conversion unit, a frame synchronization pattern detection unit, and a source data generation unit.Overcoming the conventional notion depending on the earlier art OFDM symbol standards, the OFDM symbol frame start detection method according to the present invention places a free-length code pattern, which is separately generated in a time domain, in the starting point of a frame and detects this pattern such that accuracy and efficiency greatly improve. Also, since the power value of a received signal is detected in the method, the communications system operates regardless of the frequency offset and phase offset. In addition, since a free-length pattern can be designed, the start point of a frame can be accurately detected in a seriously fading channel, by detecting a maximum peak based on correlation.
