Two synthetic signals with same frequency result in two different spectrogram results
I have two signals of the same wave $f(t)=\sin(2\pi\cdot 70\cdot10^6 t ), t \in [0,1e-3] $, which I created with Matlab synthetically.
My first signal has 1e6 samples and the second has 1e5 samples.

FMCW Radar - What's wrong with the transmitted signal model?
I am new to FMCW radar and trying to plot the transmit signal over time.
As you know, the transmitted signal is modelled as:
