Phase of the chirp signal
I'm having a tough time understanding the phase increments which are quadratic in nature in the chirp signal. When I see consecutive samples, what will I see in terms of phase and if I have to measure ...

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 ...

Need help with detecting onset of audio in wav file
I'm new to DSP and I'm learning as I go. I have an audio file with a chirp signal(2kHz). I played and recorded this chirp signal and the recording has a lot of environmental sounds.
Here is my code:

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 ...

Carrier frequency of chirp signal
I am computing the link budget for a communication-radar (CoRadar) system. The formula for maximum distance, in communication, is:
$d_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{P_t}{\tau}\frac{G_t G_{r, comm} \lambda^2}{(4\...

chirp signal - Frequency spectrum characteristics
I am confused with my own intuition of the frequency response of a chirp signal.
In this case, the chirp signal is a frequency modulated signal with initial frequency starting at 100 Hz and ending at ...

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.
I ...

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?
