A Timing Synchronization Scheme for SC-FDE System

The SC-FDE(single carrier-frequency domain equalizer) is a field that gathers more and more interest as a modulation scheme for the broadband wireless communications, for simple channel equalization ,SC-FDE systems perform equalization in frequency domain instead of time-domain using FFT, IFFT and CP (cyclic prefix) like it user for example in OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). In this paper, A new timing algorithm is proposed that can estimate the timing offset using only one training frame. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed algorithm has much better precision and fewer computations. This algorithm is intrinsically robust to multi-path channel.
