            Abstract : 
Low-loss, 180 degrees -reflecting linear chirps with constant or slowly varying weighting and large time-bandwidth product are analyzed. Multiple reflections are fully taken into account, giving a universal correction factor as a function of array parameters. This should enable such chirps to be designed without making iterations. Surface acoustic-wave (SAW) device layouts making use of the 180 degrees arrays are suggested.<>
