Abstract
A photonic approach to generating a dual-chirp microwave waveform using a single dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A dual-chirp microwave waveform can be used in a radar system to improve its range-Doppler resolution. In the proposed approach, a baseband single-chirp waveform is applied to one sub-Mach-Zehnder modulator (sub-MZM) in the DPMZM and a microwave carrier is applied to the other sub-MZM. By biasing the two sub-MZMs at the minimum transmission point to suppress the optical carrier, a dual-chirp microwave waveform with a central frequency upconverted to the frequency of the microwave carrier is generated. A theoretical analysis is performed, which is then verified by a proof-of-concept experiment. A dual-chirp microwave waveform at 6 GHz with a tunable bandwidth at 200 MHz and 2 GHz is generated.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
