Abstract: The invention relates to the field of sensor units 10 capable of sending measurements along with a digital signature. The sensor unit 10 sends some measurements along with a signature and sends some measurements without a signature, resulting in saving in the bandwidth on the transmission lines. Also the hash value used to compute the signature is computed as and when the measurements are taken, without storing the measurements in the memory. This provides efficient method of ensuring data integrity. The electronic control unit 14 which receives measurements from the sensor unit 10, needs to calculate signature only for a pre-defined number of measurements, from a total number of measurements. This saves the processing power of ECU 14 and still ensures the overall security for the measurements sent by the sensor unit 10. Triggers sent by the sensor unit 10 notifying start of the calculation of the signature, start of the transmission of the signature and end of the transmission of the signature will provide synchronisation of the sensor unit 10 with the ECU 14, to receive the information correctly. The triggers will also provide a configurability to vary the number of measurements which need to have the signature and to vary the number of measurements which need not have a signature.

Abstract: Sub-aperture processing is carried out. Within each sub-aperture, range compression and a correction for the target range variation are carried out. Baseband azimuth scaling is used for processing the azimuth signal, wherein a long azimuth reference function and thus a wide azimuth dimension are prevented. The scaling range is not constant and depends on the range, which is not equal to the original range vector. It is calculated such that, in combination with a subsequent derotation step, constant azimuth scanning is achieved for all ranges. The selected derotation function, which is applied in the azimuth time domain, makes it possible for all the targets to be in base band, in this way varying the effective chirp rate. Since the phase is purely quadratic because of the azimuth scaling step, it is thus possible to use an optimal filter which takes account of the effective chirp rate. IFFT results in a focused image, and a final phase function in the time domain allows phase maintenance. Application for SAR, SONAR and seismic raw data processing in the TOPS mode, as well as other modes which make use of the antenna polar diagram being scanned in the azimuth and/or elevation direction.
