Abstract

A digital chirp generator for generating linear frequency modulated signals, comprises a plurality of frequency/phase accumulators pipelined together. Each frequency/phase accumulator includes a frequency accumulator driving phase accumulator. In the pipelined configuration the frequency accumulator and the phase accumulator of each frequency/phase accumulator are interconnected with the corresponding frequency accumulator and phase accumulator adjacent of the frequency/phase accumulator.
