Abstract

A method of detecting a trigger event includes receiving an input signal for analysis. The received input signal is used to generate first data corresponding to sequential sets of spectral output data sets, at least some of the spectral output data sets corresponding to sample points in time acquired from the input signal as the input signal changes with time. At least part of the first data is then compared with second data, the second data corresponding to a predetermined sequential set of signature spectral data sets corresponding to a time-varying spectrum associated with a trigger event. A trigger signal is then generated in response to a change in a state of match between the at least part of first and second data.
