Abstract: A packet-based radio receiver (10) comprises an automatic gain control system (17) and a signal-level detector (18, 19, 20) for monitoring an analogue signal derived from radio signals received by the radio receiver. The signal-level detector (18, 19, 20) comprises a binary memory cell (22, 24)and a monitoring system. The monitoring system comprises a comparator (21, 23)arranged to receive a reference voltage at a first input and the analogue signal at a second input. The monitoring system is arranged to (i) continuously monitor the voltage of the analogue signal, (ii) detect when the monitored signal exceeds the reference voltage, and (iii) store a predetermined binary value in the memory cell (22, 24) in response to such a detection. The automatic gain control system (17) is arranged to control the gain of a variable-gain component (12, 13, 14) of the radio receiver in dependence on the contents of the binary memory cell (22, 24).

Abstract: A receiving apparatus (7) that can estimate a motion-induced frequency shift in a received signal comprises a processing system (205) and a receiver (204) configured to receive a signal comprising one or more instances of a transmitted signal. The processing system (205) is configured to generate data representative of a plurality of impulse response functions by deconvolving the received signal with each of a plurality of templates representative of the transmitted signal shifted in frequency by a different respective frequency shift. The processing system (205) is further configured to evaluate a signal-to-noise measure for each of the plurality of impulse response functions, and to identify an impulse response function of the plurality of impulse response functions for which the signal-to-noise measure satisfies a peak criterion.

Abstract: An apparatus (301; 302; 303) for use in a packet-based communication system, comprises an input (30, 32) and an output (31). The apparatus (301; 302; 303) is configured to receive a stream of data packets, having an inter-packet spacing, and store the received data packets and information representing the inter-packet spacing in a buffer, wherein the data packets are no longer than a common maximum data- packet length. The apparatus (301; 302; 303) is further configured to schedule, at intervals, all the contents of the buffer except for a constant amount, into a respective container of a sequence of containers and, if the container then contains an incomplete data packet, schedule the remainder of the incomplete packet into the container. The apparatus (301; 302; 303) is further configured to send the sequence of containers, wherein the positions of the data packets within the containers depend on the received inter-packet spacing, and wherein the constant amount is equal to or greater than the common maximum data-packet length.

For each of a second plurality of points (4, 5) within the image data, (i) the vector field is integrated to determine a streamline or streamline segment from the point, and (ii) a filtered value for the point is determined by applying a filtering operation to the image data using a filtering kernel oriented along the streamline or streamline segment.
