Summary

Description
English: A signal whose spectral content changes with time, e.g. the low frequencies arrive before the high frequencies, is said to be "chirped". Notice that in this simple example the overall spectrum of the chirped pulse is wider than the unchirped one, thus keeping the pulse duration constant. If you keep the bandwidth constant, the chirped pulse will stretch in time.
