An operating method for a LIDAR system. A laser device that includes an optical modulator optically coupled thereto for receiving and modulating the frequency of non-modulated light emitted by the laser device, using a frequency modulation function, and for outputting frequency-modulated light as primary light into a visual field, is used as a light source unit. Secondary light received from the visual field and non-modulated light of the laser device are optically superimposed to form superimposed detection light. The superimposed detection light is photoelectrically detected by generating and outputting a primary electrical detection signal that is representative of the detection light. For the evaluation, the primary electrical detection signal is electrically mixed with an electrical signal that is representative of the frequency modulation function of the optical modulator to form a first evaluation signal, and is assessed.

Operating method for a LIDAR system, control unit, LIDAR system, and device

A method for encoding and storing digital data, which include a plurality of real values, in a signal processing unit of a radar sensor in which at least one real value r in an exponential representation in the form r=m·bis stored, where m is a digital mantissa having a length p, b is a base, and k is a positive number that is encoded as a digital number having a length q. An exponential representation with b>2 is used for the compressed storage of the values r.

FMCW radar sensor including synchronized high frequency components

A method for encoding and storing digital data, which include a plurality of real values, in a signal processing unit of a radar sensor. In the method, at least one real value r in an exponential representation in the form r=m&#xb7;bis stored, where m is a digital mantissa having a length p, b is a base, and k is a positive number that is encoded as a digital number having a length q. The values r for the compressed storage are transformed into an exponential representation in the form r=m*&#xb7;b, where m* is the mantissa and f is a function of k that is selected from multiple functions, and the selection of function f takes place based on a value distribution of the values to be stored.
