A synchronization device has a signal reception unit and a signal generation unit. The latter provides a multicarrier signal, which serves as an internally transmitted signal. The former receives the same type of externally received signal as the internally transmitted signal. An STO timing detection unit detects a position at which a correlation value in the correlation calculation between sampled data of the internally transmitted signal shifted at a predetermined sampling interval and sampled data of the externally received signal is maximum as an STO timing. A difference calculation unit calculates a difference between phases of the externally received signal and the internally transmitted signal at each subcarrier in a state in which the STO timing is detected. A correction control unit executes correction control on the signal generation unit such that a difference in a phase of each calculated subcarrier is added as a correction amount.
