Abstract

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·b−k is 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*·b−f(k), 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.
