CHIRP

CHIRP (Compressed High-Intelligence Radiated Pulse) is a technology used in marine navigation and communication, primarily to improve the quality and clarity of sonar and radar signals. It works by sending out a series of sound or radio frequency pulses across a range of frequencies simultaneously, rather than a single tone. This broad spectrum allows the receiver to better distinguish objects and details underwater or on the water surface, enhancing detection accuracy. In essence, CHIRP provides clearer, more detailed images or signals from sonar and radar systems, helping users identify fish, underwater structures, or other vessels more effectively.
