1. A system for processing a signal, the system comprising:
- a transmit unit to transmit a signal; and
a receive unit receiving a reflection of the signal and performing equivalent time sampling thereon by sampling each cycle of the received signal and reconstructing the received signal from the samples, wherein the receive unit applies a plurality of down-conversion rates to the equivalent time sampling for an acquisition window.

8. A method for processing a signal, the method comprising:
performing a plurality of signal transmit and receive operation pairs, wherein each subsequent receive operation is temporally spaced from its respective transmit operation by an increasing time offset to perform equivalent time sampling, the equivalent time sampling being performed with a plurality of down conversion rates for a given acquisition window. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for processing radar information, said method comprising:
-
transmitting a plurality of radar pulses; and performing equivalent time sampling on returned radar pulses, wherein said equivalent time sampling provides higher resolution in a first part of an acquisition window and lower resolution in a second part of said acquisition window by applying different down conversion rates in each of said first part and said second part of said acquisition window. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
