Hello,
In the following picture, I want to know about the minimum "Idle Time" for the frequency to stabilize.
Thanks,
Jason
Hi Jason,
If you are looking for the minimum programmable idle time you can refer to the following value (250 * 10 ns). The understanding is that the frequency should have de-ramped fully to start frequency by this time.
However, the idle time comes after the chirping is done and the synth has stopped ramping. If you were concerned about the non-linearity or settling in the active chirp time, then that depends on the ADC start time.
The minimum ADC start time required for the chirp to linearize will be dependent on the slope. For slopes less than 50 MHz/us you can have ADC start time as less as 1us but for slopes greater than 50MHz/us it is suggested to go with a minimum time of 2.5 us.
Let me know if this is what you were looking for or if there was something else that needs to be addressed.

Kaushik
