A device for signal synchronization in a communication system is configured to perform a first sliding correlation for a received signal and a pseudo-random noise (PN) sequence to obtain information on symbol timing, identify a fractional carrier frequency offset (FCFO) using the information on symbol timing and the cyclic extension property of the PN guard interval (GI), and provide a first product by multiplying the received signal with the FCFO. The device is also configured to provide a set of second products by multiplying the first product with each of a set of phases related to integral carrier frequency offsets (ICFOs), perform a second sliding correlation for the PN sequence and each one of the set of the second products to thereby provide a set of peak values, and identify an ICFO by detecting an index number of a maximal value among the set of peak values.
