A series of samples derived by fixed-frequency sampling of a received signal are processed to detect (local) maximum-value and minimum-value samples. For each of the maximum-value samples, a corresponding reference value and a corresponding group of samples are derived. The reference value is set higher than that of a minimum-value sample which adjoins the maximum-value sample, and the corresponding group consists of successively adjacent samples including the maximum-value sample, each having a higher value than the reference value. The estimated time-axis position of a peak value of the received signal is obtained within the range of time-axis positions of the corresponding group.
