Chirp Timing and Frequency
Chirp timing parameters define the temporal structure of the waveform, including start, up, down, and stop periods
1. Chirp Timing
A chirp consists of four timing parameters.
Its total duration, defined as the chirp cycle (or chirp period), represents the complete time of one chirp.

Chirp Cycle/Period |
Remark | |
 |
With a fixed baseband bandwidth, the slope determines the maximum measurable range inversely. ex) T_chirp=1000 us, T_START=20 us, T_UP=420 us, T_DOWN=150 us, T_STOP=410 us |
2. Chirp Frequency
|
Chirp(RF) Bandwidth |
Remark | |
 |
Chirp bandwidth is directly related to the range resolution of a radar system. ex) B_RF = 24.25 – 24.05 = 0.20 GHz = 200 MHz |
3. Chirp Slope
|
Chirp Slope |
Remark | |
 |
With a fixed baseband bandwidth, the slope determines the maximum measurable range inversely. ex) S = 0.476 MHz/μs , B_RF=200MHz, T_UP =420 us |
