Abstract

A programmable synchronizing unit for a signal receiver has a received data memory for buffering received data, a correlation value data memory for storing correlation values, a data path for correlating the received data with the correlation values, a result data memory for buffering the received data correlated with the correlation values by means of the data path, and a control unit for addressing the received data memory, the result data memory and the correlation value data memory (26) and for controlling the data path as a function of a synchronization program which is stored in a program memory.
