In this thesis, a blind symbol timing synchronization algorithm based on cyclic prefix for OFDM systems in multipath fading channels is proposed. It finds the starting point of symbol timing for using appropriate weights which are designed from channel delay spread characteristics. In multipath fading channels, the conventional ML (maximum likelihood) algorithm estimate is biased and has a large variance due to the effect of channel delay spread. The proposed exponential weighting methods not only solve the above problems but also improve the accuracy of symbol timing. Particularly, the proposed method does not require the information of SNR and channel length. From computer simulation results, the proposed method outperforms the other conventional algorithms and is also robust against the effect of multipath fading channels.
