One of the most iconic of radar waveforms is the Linear FM chirp. It is well-behaved and well-understood, and has become the gold standard against which other radar waveforms are measured. It has a number of desirable attributes, but is not without some issues. It may be processed by a number of techniques with many variations. Details of the Linear FM chirp are presented and discussed in this report.
