Patent number: 6658063Abstract: A preamble for synchronization, or a reference timing for operation of an OFDM packet communication receiver system is detected finely even under environment of large waveform distortion due to thermal noise and/or multi-path propagation, and/or large carrier frequency offset between a transmit side and a receiver side. A correlator (1) detects a pattern of a short preamble (t1-t10) in a preamble for synchronization. An output of the correlator (1) is applied to a complex filter (7) which separates a short preamble having a predetermined repetition period from uniformly distributed noise. A scalar filter (9) integrates some period of short preambles which have distributed-delay by multi-path propagation as if a single short preamble with no delay were received for determining a reference timing.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2000Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Masato Mizoguchi, Takeshi Onizawa, Tomoaki Kumagai, Masahiro Morikura
