Abstract

Exemplary aspects are directed to or involve a radar transceiver to transmit signal and receive reflected radar signals via a communication channel. The exemplary method includes radar receiver data processing circuitry that may be used to differentiate a subset of representations of the received signals. This differentiation may be used to select signals that are more indicative of target(s) having a given range than other ones of the received signals. The received signal's representations may then be compressed by using variable-mantissa floating-point numbers having mantissa values that vary based, at least in part, on at least one strength characteristic of the respective representations.
