The theory of binary digital frame synchronization is discussed. The effect of random data on frame synchronization is introduced. The one-pass acquisition probability expression which is related with the pattern length and construction, frame length, bit error rate, decision threshold is obtained. Finally the method of design about optimal frame format is given and the relation between efficiency of channel and acquisition probability is described.
