Abstract

A monolithic digital chirp synthesizer (DCS) chip using GaAs/AlGaAs HI.sup.2 L technology. The 6500 HBT gate DCS chip is capable of producing linear frequency modulated (chirp) waveforms or single frequency waveforms. The major components of the DCS are two pipelined accumulators, a sine ROM, a cosine ROM and two digital to analog converters.
