A method of estimating the alignment of a star sensor (20) for a vehicle (12) includes generating star tracker data. A vehicle attitude and a star sensor attitude are determined in response to the star tracker data. A current alignment sample is generated in response to the vehicle attitude and the star sensor attitude. A current refined estimate alignment signal is generated in response to the current alignment sample and a previously refined estimate alignment signal via a vehicle on-board filter (38).

According to the invention, the following successive steps are carried out automatically: deployment (E3) of the previously armed thrust reversers of the aircraft; application (E5) of a predetermined engine speed; reduction (E6) of the engine speed; - re-furling (E7) of the thrust reversers of the aircraft.

A transceiver suitable for larger scale of integration employs direct conversion reception for reducing the number of filters. Also, the number of VCOs is reduced by utilizing dividers to supply a receiver and a transmitter with locally oscillated signals at an RF band. Dividers each having a fixed division ratio are used for generating locally oscillated signals for the receiver, while a divider having a switchable division ratio are used for generating the locally oscillated signal for the transmitter. In addition, a variable gain amplifier for baseband signal is provided with a DC offset voltage detector and a DC offset canceling circuit for supporting high speed data communications to accomplish fast cancellation of a DC offset by eliminating intervention of a filter within a feedback loop for offset cancellation.

A low overhead method to handle inter process and peer to peer communication. A queue manager is used to create a list of messages with minimal configuration overhead. A hardware queue can be connected to another software task owned by the same core or a different processor core, or connected to a hardware DMA peripheral. There is no limitation on how many messages can be queued between the producer and consumer cores. The low latency interrupt generation to the processor cores is handled by an accumulator inside the QMSS which can be configured to generate interrupts based on a programmable threshold of descriptors in a queue. The accumulator thus removes the polling overhead from software and boosts performance by doing the descriptor pops and message transfer in the background.
