14370 kHz OTHR 20171211T1040
The autocorrelation function has peaks at multiples of 0.02 seconds: (
as is well known)

| 14370 kHz OTHR autocorrelation |
The pulse shapes and the FM demodulated phases are shown below w.r.t. GPS seconds mod 0.02 seconds. Of the full bandwidth of this signal is 20kHz the KiwiSDRs sample 12 kHz. Therefore only part of the chirp signal is seen:

| 14370 kHz OTHR pulse shape and FM demodulated phase |
Correcting for the sample rate the
chirpyness becomes 12001*83.326 = 1e6, i.e., one sweep covers 20 kHz.
In the time differences different paths of propagation can be seen; it looks like the ionosphere at this time was quite patchy:

The TDoA location is consistent with the known position of the transmitter:
