Abstract
A synchronization method in a Ultra Wideband (UWB) receiver includes receiving a signal through a multipath channel, and synchronizing with a first multipath component of the received signal by computing a correlation value between the received signal and a template signal of the receiver in a predetermined search range. Since multipath components received at the receiver after the first multipath component of the received signal have lower power than that of the first multipath component, the synchronization with the first multipath component of the received signal may improve the performance in processes after the synchronization process.
