  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    Doppler shift of the direct path can be estimated by the following formula: [22], = ⁡ ⁡ where is the speed of the mobile station, is the wavelength of the carrier, is the elevation angle of the satellite and is the driving direction with respect to the satellite. The additional Doppler shift due to the satellite moving can be described as ...

  3. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Doppler spectrum. Deliberately no units given (but could be dBu and MHz for example). This is an issue only with a particular type of system; the pulse-Doppler radar, which uses the Doppler effect to resolve velocity from the apparent change in frequency caused by targets that have net radial velocities compared to the radar device. Examination ...

  4. Doppler tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_tracking

    Doppler tracking.The Doppler effect allows the measurement of the distance between a transmitter from space and a receiver on the ground by observing how the frequency received from the transmitter changes as it approaches the transmitter, is overhead, and moves away.

  5. Satellite geolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_geolocation

    The frequency differences observed are due to different Doppler shift resulting from relative satellite motion and differences in the translation frequencies of the two satellite channels. Channel translation frequencies and downlink Doppler shift and delay can be calibrated out of the measurements by observing transmitters of known location ...

  6. International Cospas-Sarsat Programme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Cospas...

    LUTs detecting distress signals relayed by LEOSAR satellites perform mathematical calculations based on the Doppler-induced frequency shift received by the satellites as they pass over a beacon transmitting at a fixed frequency. From the mathematical calculations, it is possible to determine both bearing and range with respect to the satellite ...

  7. Radar engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_engineering

    The range and velocity of a target are detected through pulse delay ranging and the Doppler effect (pulse-Doppler), or through the frequency modulation (FM) ranging and range differentiation. The range resolution is limited by the instantaneous signal bandwidth of the radar sensor in both pulse-Doppler and frequency modulated continuous wave ...

  8. Pulse-Doppler signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_signal...

    Pulse-Doppler signal processing is a radar and CEUS performance enhancement strategy that allows small high-speed objects to be detected in close proximity to large slow moving objects. Detection improvements on the order of 1,000,000:1 are common.

  9. Doppler radio direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radio_direction...

    Doppler radio direction finding, also known as Doppler DF, is a radio direction-finding method that generates accurate bearing information with minimal electronics. It is best suited to applications in VHF and UHF frequencies and takes only a short time to indicate a direction. This makes it suitable for measuring the location of the vast ...
