Sequential circuitry for recreating CW components from chirp-Z pulses
First Claim
1. In a signal analyzer wherein a Chirp-Z forward transform is utilized to compress the individual CW components of the signal into segregated pulses of equal duration, with the pulse of each such component appearing once during each scan of a sweeping local oscillator, the improvement comprising:
- sequential circuitry for recreating a selected CW component by repeatedly replicating a forward Chirp-Z transform pulse relating thereto throughout a period of time as necessitated by the intended analysis, with the forward Chirp-Z transform pulse for each CW component selected being gated through a switch to a tapped delay line having the taps thereof separated in time by one-half the Chirp-Z pulse width and one pulse replication is taken from each tap.

Abstract
Use of inverse transforms regarding chirp-Z analysis is circumvented to ence the chirp-Z output gain. Forward chirp-Z transform pulses relating to individual CW frequency components of interest in a composite signal, are gated to circuitry which replicates those pulses to recreate each such component for the time necessary to accomplish the intended analysis. This circuitry operates at the replicating rate necessary to separate the pulse replications by one-half the width of the pulses.
