Abstract
A system and method generate a signal for transmission by a radar system. A bit modulator outputs a bit of a binary code. A digital frequency controller outputs a range of frequencies. An order of the range of frequencies is based on the bit. A phase-locked loop generates a signal for transmission by the radar system. The signal includes a chirp comprising the range of frequencies in the order output by the digital frequency controller.
