Patent attributes
A synchronizer for a communication device and an access point, which is installed inside the communication device and comprises a coefficient generator generating a set of coefficient code. A parallel-to-serial converter receives a set of input code from an access point, performs a parallel-to-serial conversion on the set of input code and outputs a result. A coefficient element array includes a plurality of coefficient elements interconnecting with each other. Each of the coefficient elements receives the set of input code from the parallel-to-serial converter and receives the set of coefficient code, and then performs a passive or active correlation operation on the set of input code and the set of coefficient code to output a correlation value to the access point for synchronizing signals of the communication device and the access point.
