Abstract: Synchronization method for a multi-carrier transceiver using a filter bank, for example a cosine modulated filter bank, a wavelet packet filter bank or a complex modulated filter bank, the transceiver comprising a transmitter (100) and a receiver (300) able to communicate with each other over a communication channel (200), the method comprising the following steps: sending a periodic and coded training sequence over the communication channel (200) with the transmitter (100), determining in the receiver (300) time alignment information from the received training sequence, performing a coarse synchronization of the receiver (300) to said transmitter (100) using said time alignment information, sending modulated data (1) in data mode over the communication channel (200) with the transmitter (100), pilot signals being multiplexed into said data (1), tracking sampling frequency offset and phase jitter within the receiver (300) using the pilot signals, performing the continuous synchronization of the transceiver wi
