Abstract :
This paper deals with the synchronization of single carrier transmission with frequency domain equalization (FDE) for broadband mobile radio applications (e.g. wireless ATM). For such applications the carrier frequency and temporal position of the FFT (fast Fourier transform) window have to be synchronized. Furthermore, an estimation of the channel transfer function is necessary. A synchronization concept is presented which uses only one pilot FFT symbol for all the required synchronization tasks
