Abstract

A reception synchronization circuit for receiving a unique word transmitted in a predetermined digital pattern. A detection circuit detects the reception electric field intensity as received power. A UW correlation judgment circuit detects the unique word (hereinafter referred to as “UW”) and takes a correlation between the unique word thus detected and a predetermined digital pattern. A memory stores two or more threshold values for the movement average. After the two or more threshold values and the movement average are compared with each other, the correlation is taken by the UW correlation judgment circuit when the movement average is larger than the minimum values of the two or more threshold values.
