Abstract: A radar system for a motor vehicle is describe including a plurality (M) of transmitters for transmitting a radar signal, a receiver for receiving the transmitted radar signal reflected by an object, a signal re-constructor coupled to the receiver. Each transmitter is configured to transmit at least part of a frequency modulated continuous wave signal during a time period T having N sample time periods of duration T/N, and in each of the N sample time periods combinations of at least some of the transmitters transmit. The signal re-constructor is configured to determine the coordinates of an object with respect to the radar system from N measurements of the received frequency modulated continuous wave signal, each of the N measurements being made for a time period of T/N. The radar system may reduce the detection time for objects while maintaining the angular resolution.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses and methods involving the detection of signal characteristics. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus includes a radar or sonar transceiver that transmits signals and receives reflections of the transmitted signals. A data compression circuit determines a compression factor based on characteristics of the signals, such as may relate to a channel over which the signal passes and/or related aspects of an object from which the signals are reflected (e.g., velocity, trajectory and distance). Data representing the signals is compressed as a function of the determined compression factor.
