Abstract
A Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) receiver comprises an adjustable delay line, a secondary synchronization processor and a controller. The secondary synchronization processor performs frame synchronization on a received wireless signal that is provided via the adjustable delay line. The controller varies the sub-chip timing delays provided by the adjustable delay line until a measure of accuracy of the frame synchronization process exceeds a predetermined threshold, upon which frame synchronization occurs.
