+## Evaluate a chirp signal at time t. A chirp signal is a frequency
+## swept cosine wave.
+##
+## t: vector of times to evaluate the chirp signal
+## f0: frequency at time t=0 [ 0 Hz ]
+## t1: time t1 [ 1 sec ]
+## f1: frequency at time t=t1 [ 100 Hz ]
+## form: shape of frequency sweep
+## 'linear' f(t) = (f1-f0)*(t/t1) + f0
+## 'quadratic' f(t) = (f1-f0)*(t/t1)^2 + f0
+## 'logarithmic' f(t) = (f1-f0)^(t/t1) + f0
+## phase: phase shift at t=0
+##
+## Example
+## specgram(chirp([0:0.001:5])); # linear, 0-100Hz in 1 sec
+## specgram(chirp([-2:0.001:15], 400, 10, 100, 'quadratic'));
