A simple programmable chirp-transform band-pass and/or band-stop filter has been implemented using ultrasonic strip dispersive delay lines. Experimental results demonstrating the capability of the system are presented. In addition to processing applications, the system may also be employed as a teaching tool for illustrating concepts in spectral analysis.
