How would you describe this signal? It's like a sinusoid but as if its frequency was constantly increasing: could you write down a mathematical description? Thanks. And no, this is not homework...
Answer
Frequency is more likely decreasing (period is getting longer). This is a sweep sine signal or as some people used to call it - chirp tone. No point in rewriting the literature, so here are some links with very good explanation for both linear and exponential frequency change.
For linear sweep you get:
$$s(t)=\sin\left(\omega_1t+\frac{\omega_2-\omega_1}{T}\cdot \frac{t^2}{2}\right) $$
where:
$\omega_1 $, $\omega_2$ - initial and final angular frequency respectively
$T$ - sweep duration.
