Maximum Velocity vs. Chirp Cycle
Maximum velocity is limited by chirp cycle time; shorter cycles enable higher measurable speeds.

1. Doppler Sampling Relationship
The chirp cycle acts as the Doppler sampling interval.
If the sampling rate is too low, aliasing occurs, which limits the maximum measurable velocity.
