Abstract

In a method for synchronization of a receiver to a transmitter which periodically transmits a sequence which is known in the receiver, a subset of possible synchronization times is determined in a first selection process by repeated correlation of the received signal with the known sequence and comparison of the correlation responses, as calculated for the correlations, with a threshold value. The threshold value is in this case varied adaptively as a function of at least one parameter which is measured during the correlations.
