Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In described examples, a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) synthesizer includes a control engine, and a phase locked loop (PLL) including a frequency divider, a control voltage generator (CVG), and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The frequency divider modifies a VCO output frequency based on a control input. The CVG generates a control voltage based on a frequency reference and the frequency divider output. The VCO outputs a FMCW output having the VCO output frequency in response to the control voltage. The control engine generates the control input so that the VCO output frequency: from a first time to a second time, is a first frequency; from the second time to a third time, changes at a first rate; from the third time to a fourth time, changes at a second rate different from the first rate; and from the fourth time to a fifth time, is a second frequency.
