Patent ID: 7653166

Claim:
A synchronization device for determining a position of a synchronization signal in a receive signal, the synchronization signal being based on a coarse synchronization signal and a fine synchronization signal, comprising: a signal processor configured to determine, based on the coarse synchronization signal, a section of the receive signal in which is located the fine synchronization signal, and to determine in the section of the receive signal, based on the fine synchronization signal, the position of the synchronization signal in the receive signal for a synchronization, wherein the signal processor is configured to detect the fine synchronization signal in the section of the receive signal, and wherein the coarse synchronization signal comprises a bandwidth which is smaller than a bandwidth of the fine synchronization signal, the signal processor being configured to perform a detection of the coarse synchronization signal in the receive signal at a first sampling rate, and to perform a detection of the fine synchronization signal at a second sampling rate, the second sampling rate being higher than the first sampling rate.
