A radar system suitable for an automated vehicle, the system comprising: at least one receiving element configured to detect reflected radar signals reflected by an object (19A, 19B) in a field-of-view of the system, wherein the receiving element is configured to generate detected signals indicative of the reflected radar signals detected by the receiving element, an auto-encoding device performing an auto-encoding operation on the detected signals and being embedded in the receiving element such that the receiving element outputs the detected signals in a, preferably lossy, encoded form, a transfer device in communication with the receiving element and a controller in communication with the transfer device, wherein the transfer device transfers the encoded detected signals from the receiving element to the controller, and wherein the controller comprises a decoding device performing a decoding operation in order to decode the encoded detected signals, wherein the auto-encoding device applies a first non-linear function to the detected radar signals in order to encode the detected radar signals and wherein the decoding device applies a second non-linear function for decoding the encoded detected radar signals, characterized in that a first neural network derives parameters of the first non-linear function being applied in the auto-encoding operation, a second neural network derives parameters of the second non-linear function being applied in the decoding operation, and the controller comprises a discriminator which evaluates the parameters of the first and second non-linear functions (103, 203) as part of a training procedure of the auto-encoding and decoding devices (22, 27) in such a manner that a difference between the original detected signals and reconstructed signals is minimized. at least one receiving element configured to detect reflected radar signals reflected by an object (19A, 19B) in a field-of-view of the system, wherein the receiving element is configured to generate detected signals indicative of the reflected radar signals detected by the receiving element, an auto-encoding device performing an auto-encoding operation on the detected signals and being embedded in the receiving element such that the receiving element outputs the detected signals in a, preferably lossy, encoded form, a transfer device in communication with the receiving element and a controller in communication with the transfer device, wherein the transfer device transfers the encoded detected signals from the receiving element to the controller, and wherein the controller comprises a decoding device performing a decoding operation in order to decode the encoded detected signals, wherein the auto-encoding device applies a first non-linear function to the detected radar signals in order to encode the detected radar signals and wherein the decoding device applies a second non-linear function for decoding the encoded detected radar signals, a first neural network derives parameters of the first non-linear function being applied in the auto-encoding operation, a second neural network derives parameters of the second non-linear function being applied in the decoding operation, and the controller comprises a discriminator which evaluates the parameters of the first and second non-linear functions (103, 203) as part of a training procedure of the auto-encoding and decoding devices (22, 27) in such a manner that a difference between the original detected signals and reconstructed signals is minimized.
