Abstract

A synchronization data detecting unit is provided in a communication system for detecting predetermined synchronization data. The synchronization data are sent in a transmission frame in a communication signal of the communication system. The synchronization data include a sequence of identical binary symbols which are transmitted after scrambling. The synchronization detection unit comprises a descrambler for descrambling the received communication and for producing an output data sequence having multi-level signal values. The multi-level signal values of the descrambler output are smoothed in a filter unit. The smoothed signal is compared with a predetermined threshold value. If the smoothed signal exceeds the predefined threshold value, a detection of said synchronized data is indicated.
