Chapter 2. Synchronization

IN THIS CHAPTER

Synchronization is an essential task for any digital communication system. Without accurate synchronization algorithms, it is not possible to reliably receive the transmitted data. From the digital baseband algorithm design engineer's perspective, synchronization algorithms are the major design problem that has to be solved to build a successful product.

OFDM is used for both broadcast type systems and packet switched networks, like WLANs. These two systems require somewhat different approach to the synchronization problem. Broadcast systems transmit data continuously, so a typical receiver, ...
