The present disclosure includes a method of performing synchronization and frequency offset estimation The method includes an input signal corresponding to a single received training sequence. Phase information and a phase index are generated by performing an auto-correlation function (ACF) on the input signal. A templet signal associated with a sample index of the input signal is generated based on at least one pre-stored look-up table (LUT), the phase index, a frequency bandwidth of the input signal, and the sample index. Power associated with the sample index is calculated by performing a matched filtering on the input signal based on the templet signal. A synchronization timing and a frequency offset for the input signal are simultaneously determined based on a result of the matched filtering.

Method of performing synchronization and frequency offset estimation based on simultaneous phase compensation of single training sequence and receiver performing the same

A digital television (DTV) receiver is provided, comprising: a demodulator that demodulates television signals and outputs equalizer training signals in the form of real (I) and imaginary (Q) data; a sync signal detector, and a phase compensator that offsets the phase of the I and Q data based on the phase offset signal and outputs phase adjusted I data under control of the lock control signal. The sync signal detector comprises: a correlator that correlates the equalizer training signals including the I and Q data; a power calculator that calculates the sum of the power of the correlated I and Q data; a comparator that compares (the sum) against a preset threshold and outputs a compare indication signal; a sync lock controller that monitors the compare indication signal and outputs a lock control signal; and a phase calculator that calculates a phase of the equalizer training signals based on the I and Q data and outputs a phase offset signal based on the compare indication signal.
