Abstract
In this chapter we consider the time, frequency and phase synchronization issue. We cannot avoid dealing with this topic because no radio receiver can operate without being properly synchronized. If the radio is not synchronized none of the sub-systems composing it can operate: not the matched filters, not the equalizer, not the detectors; not even the error correcting codes or the source decoding will work.
