Design Procedure of a Modified Chirp-Matched Filter Spectrum Analyzer

Abstract

Spectral analysis involving a chirp-matched filter has two approaches for the design, namely, the standard system, and the modified system. This paper describes how to choose the various design parameters of the modified chirp-matched filter spectrum analyzer, and also presents a formal design procedure and computer-simulated results for such a spectrum analyzer.

Indexing terms:

• Chirp signal
• Chirp-matched filter
• Modified chirp-matched filter spectrum analyzer
