This paper deals with the orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) modulation, and its capability to generate inherited waveforms, such as the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or precoded OFDM, covering a large number of use cases. To this end, we first prove that the OCDM signal can be generated by a transmission chain composed of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix, followed by a multiplication by a chirp, and then an inverse DFT (IDFT). Then, we show that the OCDM transmission chain can be split into 6 sub-blocks from which we can generate numerous inherited waveforms. Thus, the OCDM waveform is an interesting candidate for flexible communication systems such as multiple radio access technology (multi-RAT).
