This apparatus includes an autocorrelation unit, a comparator, a peak flat detector, a frequency offset estimator, a frequency offset compensation unit, a cross correlation unit and a symbol timing synchronization unit.

In the symbol timing and frequency synchronization apparatus and method, accurate frequency synchronization can be achieved because a large sample error can be allowed. Also, a symbol timing error can be reduced since symbol timing synchronization is achieved using a frequency offset-compensated signal.
