Description
Summary:The design and performance of a digital linear-FM chirp waveform microwave generator having a maximum bandwidth capability of 16 GHz and minimum chirp duration of 102.4 ns are described along with techniques developed for the compensation of hardware errors. Emphasis is on optimization and characterization of chirp quality while operating with large bandwidths and chirp durations less than a microsecond.
