Each of the comparisons is performed is such a way that the N th and (N+1) th SAR cycles comprise a plurality sub-comparisons in such a way that at the end of each of said cycles a set of sub-results is obtained. The last two comparison results are obtained taking into account the corresponding set of sub-results.
