The experiment is coming along. I can now upload a frequency sweep to an AWG7022C. I can play out the frequency sweep. I can also look at the frequency sweep with an oscilloscope. Then it struck me. How do I know that what I'm looking at is really a linear frequency chirp? Just looking at the oscilloscope image doesn't tell me anything.
Math experts! Help! How do I test my output to determine just how linear my frequency chirp is? Sure, I can kind of tell that the voltage isn't constant, like it is in the picture. Is this where I have to pay attention to mathematics?
Also, I have this crummy WiFi antenna that is rated for 2.4GHz. But my frequency sweep is from 1GHz to 2GHz. I have no idea what kind of antenna to get.
