Equation of wave in Linear frequency modulation?
We know that we have the following equation for wave.
$$g(t)=A\cos(\omega t+\theta_0)=A\cos(2\pi ft+\theta_0)$$
The equation of frequency with respect to time will be:
$$f(t)=\frac{Bt}{\tau}+f_c-\...

Chirp after T seconds
Suppose we have this signal from this wiki page
$a(t)=\sin(\varphi_o + f_0t + (f_1-f_0)t^2/T)$
The article tells that T is a period of chirp modulation in which frequency changes. So my question is ...

Doppler Shifting A Chirp Signal
So I have a digital linear chirp signal:
$$ x[n] = \sqrt{\frac{2}{N}} \cdot \cos\Big( 2 \pi \frac{f_{0}}{f_{s}}n + \pi \frac{B}{N} n^{2}\Big) $$
Where $f_{0}$ is the initial frequency, $f_{s}$ is ...

Decoupling two signals where one is a delayed version of the other
I have a signal $y(t)$ that consists of the sum of two signals where one is a time delayed version of the other.
$ y(t) = x(t) + x(t-t_{d}) $
$x(t)$ is known but the time delay $t_d$ is not.

How can the FFT be used for estimating linear chirp parameters?
Consider a linear chirp signal, i.e. $f(t) = f_0 + kt$, where $f_0$ is the starting frequency, and $k$ is the chirp rate. After applying an FFT, how would I find the starting frequency and chirp rate?
