Abstract

A synchronization acquisition method for impulse-based communication including synchronizing received information with a first pulse signal having the same period as the transmit information transmitted from the transmitting end. When the correlation between the received information and an unmodulated second pulse signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, the correlation value is stored together with the reception time in memory. The stored values are sequentially updated, wherein synchronization between the received signal and the first pulse signal is established by determining the generation timing of the first pulse signal by using the time stored in the memory.
