Abstract
Provided is a frame synchronization apparatus capable of reducing the amount of total computation and computation delays when a receiver of a satellite communication system calculates correlation between an input signal for frame synchronization and a signal sequence of the receiver, since the receiver uses no multiplier. The frame synchronization apparatus includes a correlator to obtain a correlation value of a unique word of a receiver with respect to a symbol data stream of a frame received from a transmitter of the satellite communication system, a comparator to compare the correlation value to a predetermined threshold value, and a determiner to determine whether the frame has been synchronized, based on the result of the comparison by the comparator.
