The injection locking of a magnetron is theoretically analyzed when either the free running oscillator or the drive signal has a frequency chirp. It is found that complete phase locking of the signal cannot be achieved in either case. However, as long as the locking condition of Adler is well-satisfied instantaneously, a high degree of locking occurs during a major duration of the frequency chirps. The expected output phase variation is computed in terms of the noise in the free-running magnetron oscillator for the case of constant drive frequency.
