Abstract: clock synchronization is described for a system including N clocks at least three and at most N-1 of which are master candidate clocks. A start message is broadcast from the fastest master candidate clock. From each of the master candidate clocks, a response message including the local time of receipt of the start message according to the clock in question is broadcast. Using the information representing the times of receipt of the start message, the median master clock is selected and becomes the master clock. The master clock determines the clock synchronisation error for each master candidate clock, using the information representing the times of receipt of the start message. If any such clock synchronisation error is excessive the master clock declassifies the clock in question as a master candidate clock and classifies another clock as a master candidate clock.

Abstract: An antenna arrangement includes aground conductor ( 302 ) incorporating two slots ( 304 a ,304 b) having an electrically small separation and connections ( 308 a ,308 b) for coupling a transceiver to each slot to enable the ground conductor to function as two substantially independent antennas. Such a device enables efficient diversity performance to be obtained from small volume. The ground conductor, slots and transceiver are integrated in a module ( 206 ) adapted for connection to a further ground conductor which provides the majority of the antenna area. The further conductor would typically be a printed circuit board ground plane or mobile phone handset. Matching and broadbanding circuitry may conveniently be incorporated in the module. By varying the area of the connections between the module and the further ground conductor, the resonant frequencies of the slots can be modified.
